EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the General Election of 1979. The focus is on Mrs. Gertrude Shilling, a woman renowned for her eccentric taste in hats. As she heads towards the polling station, she proudly dons an outrageous creation atop her head, showcasing her unique sense of style and individuality. Mrs. Shilling's hat becomes more than just a fashion statement; it serves as a clever disguise for her political preference. With great secrecy and intrigue, she conceals her vote under its brim, keeping everyone guessing about where her allegiance truly lies. This snapshot captures not only the vibrant spirit of elections but also highlights the power of personal expression through clothing choices during that era. Mrs. Shilling's unconventional attire challenges societal norms and embraces non-conformity with flair. As we delve into this image further, we are reminded of the significance of each person's voice in shaping our democracy. It symbolizes how even those who may appear unassuming or unconventional can actively participate in politics and exercise their right to vote. With its nostalgic charm and historical relevance, this photograph transports us back to May 1979 when Mrs. Gertrude Shilling made waves at the polling station with her unforgettable hat choice – leaving an indelible mark on both fashion history and electoral politics alike.
