EDITORS COMMENTS
Inspired by the Wimbledon tennis championships taking place, this print transports us back to a summer day in South East London, on the 9th of July 1961. Against a backdrop of modest buildings and bustling street scenes, a group of children find their own slice of joy amidst the concrete jungle. With rackets in hand and determination in their eyes, they engage in an impromptu game of tennis right there on the back streets around their homes. The image captures not only their youthful exuberance but also showcases the power of friendship and community spirit that thrived even within these urban landscapes. In an era before digital distractions consumed our lives, these children found solace and entertainment outdoors, embracing physical activity with sheer enthusiasm. Terry Fincher's lens immortalizes this moment frozen in time - a testament to simpler times when games were played without screens or virtual avatars. The photograph serves as a reminder that happiness can be found anywhere if we have imagination and good company. As we gaze upon this nostalgic scene from the 1960s, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for those who remember such carefree days. It reminds us to cherish our friendships and create opportunities for playfulness amidst our busy lives today.
