EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming scene in Upperton, Sussex, back in September 1935. The image showcases two elderly gentlemen engrossed in conversation with four young girls amidst the idyllic countryside backdrop. The picture exudes a sense of simplicity and innocence as the group stands by a quaint rural cottage, surrounded by lush trees and a sturdy flint wall. The gentlemen are dressed impeccably, one sporting a tanner hat while the other dons a distinguished beard and carries a walking stick. Their presence exudes wisdom and experience. In contrast, the young girls radiate youthful energy as they playfully engage with their teddy bear and dolls pram. Clad in coats and berets, they epitomize childhood curiosity against this picturesque setting. It is evident that these individuals share more than just an ordinary encounter; they seem to be friends who have found solace in each other's company on this serene day. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to witness their genuine connection across generations. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as both an artifact of history and an embodiment of timeless human bonds. It reminds us of simpler times when conversations were cherished under blue skies – moments we can still appreciate today amid our fast-paced world.
