EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented John Topham, transports us back to the enchanting world of English rural life in the 1930s. The image showcases a general view of Petts Wood fete in Kent during this era between the wars. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are immediately drawn into a scene filled with nostalgia and charm. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of a traditional fair or fete, where people from all walks of life gather for entertainment and merriment. Women dressed in elegant attire can be seen strolling through the festivities, their faces adorned with smiles that reflect pure joy. Horses gracefully trot along as part of an attraction, adding an element of excitement to the event. Topham's expert composition captures not only the physical aspects but also evokes a sense of community spirit and unity among those present at Petts Wood fete. It serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertain times between two world wars, people sought solace and happiness in coming together for such celebrations.
