EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back to a simpler time, capturing the essence of joy and innocence. It showcases three young children, eagerly awaiting the Sutton and Bignor Fete in June 1941. Dressed in elaborate fancy costumes, they radiate excitement as they prepare for this festive occasion. In the foreground stands a charming little fair maiden with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. Her delicate dress adorned with flowers matches her radiant smile perfectly. Beside her, a mischievous sailor boy proudly dons his uniform, complete with an adorable cap perched atop his head. His enthusiasm is palpable as he clutches onto what appears to be a toy medal of honor. Completing this delightful trio is an enchanting toddler dressed as a miniature soldier. With chubby cheeks peeking out from beneath his oversized hat, he embodies pure delight that only childhood can bring. The image captures not just their vibrant outfits but also their unbridled anticipation for the fete ahead. Their innocent expressions speak volumes about the magic of community celebrations during wartime Britain. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office Ref No. Garland N20605, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when children found joy amidst adversity and communities came together to celebrate life's simple pleasures like never before.
