EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the enchanting winter of 1948. The image captures a heartwarming scene at Burton Rough, Petworth, where nature's beauty intertwines with childhood innocence. A young girl, adorned in warm leggings and clothing typical of the era, crouches down beside a toddler who is clutching onto a large basket eagerly awaiting its precious cargo. The focus of the photograph is undoubtedly on the delicate snowdrops that have emerged from beneath the frosty ground. With great care and tenderness, the young girl delicately plucks these dainty flowers from their woodland home. Her face radiates joy as she gathers them one by one into her hands. Surrounded by towering trees that stand tall against the backdrop of an idyllic forest setting, this snapshot encapsulates both tranquility and adventure. A ribbon tied around our protagonist's hair adds a touch of whimsy to this timeless moment frozen in history. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's esteemed George Garland Collection, this evocative photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times and cherished traditions passed down through generations. It invites us to reflect on our own connection with nature and reminds us how even small gestures can bring immense happiness – just like these snowdrops picked so lovingly all those years ago.
