EDITORS COMMENTS
Manchester University students bare it all for a noble cause! This print captures the audacious and spirited event that took place on Deansgate blitz site, back on the 26th of February in 1957. In an era defined by its conservative values, these brave students broke free from societal norms to raise funds for charity through their daring nude show. The image showcases a group of young men and women fearlessly embracing their bodies while surrounded by billowing bubbles in a makeshift bath. Their infectious enthusiasm radiates as they engage in this unconventional act of fundraising, demonstrating both unity and resilience amidst post-war challenges. This snapshot not only reflects the vibrant spirit of Manchester's student community but also highlights the importance placed on education and philanthropy during those times. The rag (Raising And Giving) tradition at Manchester University was renowned for its innovative approaches to charitable endeavors, pushing boundaries while making a positive impact on society. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this photograph serves as a testament to the progressive nature of university life in Greater Manchester during the mid-20th century. It reminds us that even within strict social constructs, there were individuals who dared to challenge conventions and create change. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by anonymous staff members behind the lens, let us celebrate these courageous students who used their bodies as instruments for compassion and giving.
