EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the enchanting world of Welsh customs and traditions. Pat Smith, the talented artist behind Mari Arts, proudly poses with the iconic "Mari Lwyd" a traditional horse skull puppet adorned with festive decorations. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail in this unique creation is truly awe-inspiring. Accompanying Pat Smith are two equally fascinating characters - Tom Belton, dressed as a plaque doctor, and Alison Simkins, concealed behind an intriguing mask. Together, they form a mesmerizing trio that brings life to ancient folklore. This snapshot was taken on December 23rd, 1998 - a time when Wales celebrated New Year's Eve with grand processions filled with vibrant costumes and age-old rituals. The photograph captures the essence of this cherished tradition that has been passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be captivated by the rich history and cultural significance it represents. It serves as a reminder of how important it is to preserve our heritage and keep these timeless customs alive for future generations to cherish. The Western Mail Archive has once again provided us with a window into the past - allowing us to appreciate the beauty of our collective history while igniting our imagination for what lies ahead.
