EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Julian Brown, we are transported back to the winter of December 1983 in London's Covent Garden Market. A choir of children from the apple growing region of Kent has gathered, bringing with them a heartwarming tradition that dates back centuries - Wassailing. As the crisp air fills their lungs and rosy cheeks glow with excitement, these young voices harmonize beautifully, reviving an ancient English custom. In a scene reminiscent of times gone by, they joyously offer apples as gifts during Christmas time. The innocence and purity radiating from these children is truly enchanting. Their vibrant smiles and sparkling eyes reflect the magic of the season as they embrace this cherished ritual. With each note sung and every apple shared, they bring warmth to all who witness their performance. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies the spirit of community and celebration that defines Christmas traditions. It serves as a reminder that amidst bustling markets and chilly winters, it is through simple acts like sharing apples that we can create lasting memories and foster connections between generations. Julian Brown's photograph transports us to an era where childhood innocence thrived alongside age-old customs. It invites us to pause for a moment and appreciate the beauty found within our own cultural heritage while celebrating the joys brought forth by young hearts during Christmastime in London's Covent Garden Market.
