EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Didn't I do well? - August 1948" we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming moment of triumph. A young lad, adorned in his classic attire of cap, shorts, tank top, and vest, stands proudly with his fishing rod held high and a magnificent bass hanging from it. The sheer joy radiating from his beaming smile is infectious. Captured within the George Garland Collection at the West Sussex Record Office, this image encapsulates the simple pleasures of youth and the thrill of an accomplished adventure. It speaks volumes about the timeless bond between man and nature. The boy's eyes sparkle with excitement as he showcases his prized catch to anyone who cares to look. His sense of achievement is palpable; he has conquered both the challenges posed by nature's unpredictable waters and his own determination. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst post-war hardships in August 1948, there were moments of pure bliss for children like him. It invites us to reflect on our own childhood memories filled with similar instances where success was measured not by material possessions but by personal accomplishments. Preserved meticulously by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N30449, this print continues to evoke nostalgia while reminding us all that sometimes life's greatest victories can be found in its simplest pleasures – just like this young lad proudly displaying his hard-earned trophy fish for all to see.
