EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant village of Longarish in the 1970s. A group of enthusiastic children can be seen joyfully pulling along a colossal teddy bear on a trolley through the winding village streets. This extraordinary creation, affectionately named "King Koligula" or Kelly by its friends, is the brainchild of talented nineteen-year-old toy maker Elaine Maidmen. With an impressive height of twelve feet, King Koligula stands as Elaine's most ambitious project yet. The sheer size and weight of this giant teddy bear make it an awe-inspiring sight for both young and old alike. As they navigate through the village with determination and laughter, these children showcase their strength and teamwork while indulging in some lighthearted humor. This remarkable scene captures not only the imagination but also highlights the power that toys hold over our hearts. It reminds us all of simpler times when creativity knew no bounds and playtime was filled with endless possibilities. Preserved within this timeless photograph is a testament to human ingenuity and community spirit. Let us cherish these cherished memories from Memory Lane Prints as they remind us that sometimes even ordinary moments can become extraordinary when shared with loved ones.
