EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1930s, we are transported back to a simpler time in Upperton, Sussex. Three individuals find solace amidst the tranquil farmyard setting as they immerse themselves in the pages of a newspaper. The image exudes an air of contentment and camaraderie that is palpable. A young girl stands at the forefront, her presence adding a touch of innocence to the scene. With her walking stick by her side, she appears eager to explore every corner of this rural haven. Her eyes sparkle with curiosity and joy, reflecting the carefree spirit that permeates through their gathering. Surrounded by lush countryside and flanked by rustic buildings, these friends have found respite from their daily routines. A milkmaid can be seen nearby, perhaps taking a momentary break from her laborious duties on the farm. Together, they create an idyllic tableau that captures both simplicity and happiness. The George Garland Collection has preserved this remarkable snapshot of life in West Sussex for future generations to cherish. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and each other during times when technology had yet to dominate our lives. This print is not intended for commercial use but rather invites us all to pause for reflection on simpler times gone by – where friendships were nurtured under open skies and newspapers provided windows into worlds beyond our own peaceful corners of existence.
