EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print titled "Two lads with a rather grumpy Guy seen here on the streets of Cardiff 29th October 1979" we are transported back to a bygone era in the United Kingdom. It captures the essence of childhood and tradition during the seventies, specifically on Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes night. The image showcases two young boys sitting cross-legged on a begging chair, their faces filled with excitement and mischief. They proudly display their creation: an intricately dressed dummy representing Guy Fawkes himself. However, it seems that their masterpiece has not pleased everyone, as the grumpy expression on one man's face suggests. Set against the backdrop of Cardiff's streets, adorned with Wellington boots and customs unique to Wales, this photograph encapsulates both local pride and national heritage. The anticipation for fireworks night is palpable in the air; soon bonfires will be lit across town while families gather to celebrate this time-honored event. As we gaze upon this snapshot from four decades ago, memories flood back of simpler times when children roamed freely through city streets without a care in the world. This print from Memory Lane Prints serves as a beautiful reminder of our shared history and cherished traditions that continue to shape our cultural identity today.
