In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant 1970s as we witness renowned author Jessica Mitford engaging in an unexpected activity - basket weaving. The image captures a moment of creative collaboration between Mitford and her trusted companion, Amy Jenkins, on the 30th of November in 1974. As sunlight streams through a nearby window, illuminating their faces with warmth and determination, both women appear fully engrossed in the ancient art of basket weaving. Their hands delicately intertwine slender reeds or fibers, skillfully crafting intricate patterns that will soon form beautiful vessels for practical use or artistic display. This snapshot not only showcases Mitford's versatility beyond her acclaimed literary achievements but also highlights her passion for exploring new realms of creativity. With Jenkins by her side, offering guidance or perhaps sharing insights into this traditional craft, it is evident that these two individuals share a deep bond rooted in mutual support and shared interests. The photograph exudes a sense of tranquility and concentration as time seems to stand still within the room. It serves as a reminder that even accomplished authors like Mitford find solace and inspiration outside their writing desks – embracing tactile experiences that connect them to centuries-old traditions. Through this remarkable visual artifact captured by The People's lens on that fateful day over four decades ago, we are granted an intimate glimpse into the life of Jessica Mitford – showcasing her multifaceted nature while immortalizing an era defined by its pursuit
