EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from December 1935, we are transported back in time to the picturesque village of Upperton. A country man, donning a beret and exuding an air of rustic charm, takes a momentary pause on his journey through the countryside. With his trusty pipe in hand, he delicately lights it with a matchstick, creating wisps of smoke that dance in the crisp winter air. As if frozen in time, four young girls stand nearby, their eyes fixated on this simple yet enchanting scene. Perhaps they were out gathering holly for Christmas decorations when they stumbled upon this serene moment. The surrounding landscape is adorned with tall trees and a quaint gate leading to steps that disappear into the distance. This print is part of the esteemed George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a testament to both the beauty of rural life during the 1930s and Mr. Garland's keen eye for capturing such moments. Transport yourself back to simpler times with this evocative image - imagine strolling along a peaceful footpath surrounded by nature's splendor while inhaling hints of tobacco mixed with fresh pine scent. This print encapsulates not only an era but also embodies the spirit of Christmas cheer intertwined with everyday tranquility found within our beloved countryside.
