EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from "The Camping and Outdoor Life Exhibition" held at Alexandra Palace in London during the 1950s. In this quirky image, Lucy de Winter from Buenos Aires is seen demonstrating the innovative "mo-bed" a car roof-top sleeping compartment. The mo-bed was designed to provide campers with a unique and convenient sleeping solution during their outdoor adventures. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when camping and caravanning were gaining popularity as recreational activities. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, highlighting the simplicity and ingenuity of this bygone era. With its humorous undertones, this image showcases the creativity that emerged in response to the growing demand for unconventional camping equipment. It serves as a reminder that even amidst nature's serenity, there is always room for innovation and amusement. As we gaze upon Lucy de Winter comfortably nestled inside her rooftop bed, we are reminded of the spirit of adventure that defined the 1950s. This print encapsulates not only an exhibition but also an entire decade's fascination with exploring the great outdoors while embracing unusual yet practical solutions like the mo-bed.
