EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Portrait of a young boy - November 1939" we are transported back in time to witness the innocence and charm of a bygone era. The image showcases a mischievous child, dressed in bib-front dungarees, exuding an undeniable sense of playfulness. With his hands casually tucked into his pockets, he stands before us with an air of confidence beyond his years. The choice of clothing, jeans that were undoubtedly well-worn and loved, speaks volumes about the simplicity and resilience of childhood during those tumultuous times. Despite the hardships faced during November 1939, this young boy's spirit remains untarnished as he gazes directly at the camera with sparkling eyes and a cheeky grin. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history. It captures not only one individual's story but also represents countless children who experienced similar moments amidst uncertain times. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on the enduring power of photography to transport us across decades. This particular image encapsulates both nostalgia for days gone by and admiration for youthful resilience—a testament to the indomitable spirit found within every child regardless of circumstance or era.
