EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a heartwarming scene at Petworth Park's Fishing Competition for the 'Welcome Home' Fund on 14 September 1946. The image showcases four skilled fishermen proudly displaying their impressive catch of assorted fish, as they strike a pose for the camera. Their faces beaming with satisfaction and camaraderie, these men exemplify the spirit of community that prevailed during post-war times. Adding an element of innocence and curiosity to the frame, two young boys can be seen observing the spectacle with wide-eyed wonder. Perhaps aspiring anglers themselves, they soak up every detail of this exciting event unfolding before them. The fashion and style captured in this snapshot offer us a glimpse into 1940s attire. From hats to berets, caps to glasses, each individual displays their unique sense of personal flair. A pipe clenched between one man's teeth adds an air of sophistication amidst nature's beauty. Notably absent from this caption is any mention of commercial use or company affiliation; instead, it focuses solely on preserving and appreciating historical moments like these that were lovingly documented by West Sussex County Council's archives.
