EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless moment of innocence and connection between a young boy and a playful foal. Taken during the Festival of Britain in 1951, Lambeth, London, this image showcases David McFalls' remarkable sculpture titled "Boy and Foal" which was exhibited on the South Bank Exhibition site. The photograph, skillfully captured by M W Parry, transports us back to an era when artistry flourished amidst post-war optimism. The intricate details of the sculpture are beautifully preserved in this archival print, allowing us to appreciate McFalls' craftsmanship and attention to realism. As we gaze at the scene unfolding before our eyes, we can almost feel the tender bond shared between the boy and his equine companion. Their interaction exudes warmth and trust as they stand side by side on that historic exhibition ground. It is a testament to both human-animal relationships and artistic expression. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how public exhibitions like these have long played an essential role in bringing communities together through art appreciation. It invites us to reflect upon our own connections with nature while celebrating the enduring power of sculptures like "Boy and Foal" to evoke emotions across generations. M W Parry's masterful photography allows us to relish this extraordinary moment frozen in time—a testament not only to their talent but also preserving history for future generations.
