This photograph captures a nostalgic moment in time, showcasing Dawsons shop window camping display in Sidcup, Kent in 1939. The image transports us back to the early twentieth century, between the wars era, with its monochrome charm. In this snapshot of history, we see a man standing outside the shop front, engrossed in his pipe smoking ritual. His relaxed demeanor adds an air of tranquility to the scene as he enjoys a quiet moment amidst the bustling streets of Sidcup. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the meticulously arranged camping display inside Dawsons' shop window. A wigwam and tent take center stage, evoking images of adventurous outdoor escapades and summer vacations.
