EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Gordon Mattinson retains the World Gurning title at Egremont's ancient Crab Fair" we are transported back to the 14th of September, 1973. The image captures a moment of sheer hilarity and amusement as Gordon Mattinson, with his extraordinary comic expressions and face contortions, successfully defends his coveted World Gurning title. The photograph exudes the essence of humor and showcases the unique tradition of gurning - a peculiar competition that tests one's ability to distort their facial features into comical grimaces. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, it becomes evident that Gordon is a master in this art form, effortlessly bringing joy and laughter to all those around him. Set against the backdrop of Egremont's ancient Crab Fair, an event steeped in history and local folklore, this image encapsulates both tradition and mirth. It serves as a reminder that even amidst age-old customs, there is always room for lightheartedness and fun. With its vibrant colors capturing every wrinkle on Gordon's face and every burst of laughter from spectators in the background, this photograph transports us back to an era when simple joys brought communities together. It reminds us that sometimes it only takes a funny face or two to create lasting memories filled with happiness. This remarkable piece by NCJ not only immortalizes Gordon Mattinson's triumph but also celebrates the power of humor in uniting people across time.
