EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by George Greenwell, we are transported back to the vibrant 1950s. The image captures Mrs P Ray, a stylish woman with an air of elegance, as she indulges in the modern convenience of shopping at the newly opened supermarket in North Finchley. It is April 9th, 1958, and Mrs Ray's presence exudes both excitement and curiosity. Dressed in a fashionable coat that perfectly complements her refined taste, Mrs Ray confidently navigates through aisles filled with an array of tinned goods and food products. Her basket holds treasures like cornflakes - a popular breakfast choice during those times - symbolizing the changing dietary habits brought about by post-war prosperity. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the transformation occurring within society during this era. Supermarkets were emerging as symbols of progress and convenience, revolutionizing traditional grocery shopping experiences. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the buzz surrounding this new concept taking hold. George Greenwell's lens skillfully captures not only Mrs P Ray but also provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter of history - one where supermarkets became central to our daily lives. This evocative image serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while honoring the individuals who embraced these changes with open arms.
