EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1938, we are transported back in time to witness the heartwarming scene of an elderly couple by their fireside. The image, part of the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, beautifully captures the essence of a simpler era. Seated comfortably in a worn but cherished armchair, the old man is engrossed in his newspaper while his beloved wife sits nearby, her knitting needles clicking rhythmically. The crackling fire in the hearth casts a warm glow across their faces as they bask in its comforting embrace. Their contentment is palpable; it's evident that these two souls have weathered life's storms together and found solace within each other's company. The room exudes nostalgia with its rustic charm - from the well-worn grate to the vintage knick-knacks adorning the mantelpiece. A fluffy cat lazily stretches out on an adjacent chair, seemingly enjoying this idyllic moment just as much as its human companions. As winter blankets the countryside outside their windowpane, this elderly couple finds refuge and warmth within their cozy abode. Their love for one another radiates through every crease on their faces and every stitch carefully woven into that knitting project. This print serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when life revolved around simple pleasures like sharing stories by a roaring fire or finding joy in mundane tasks. It encapsulates not only an era long gone but also celebrates enduring love
