EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Norman Synge Waller Budd in 1960, the White Hart pub in Worcestershire comes alive with the lively and bustling scene of the Harvest Festival. The pub, which appears packed to the brim with locals, exudes a sense of community and tradition as people gather together to celebrate the season's bounty. The publican, with a hearty smile and a mug of ale in hand, presides over the scene, ready to oversee the traditional custom of the "marrow lifting" competition. The air is thick with the smell of smoke from the open fireplace and the pipes of those enjoying a post-lunch cigarette. The scene is one of warmth, social connection, and the shared appreciation for the simple pleasures of rural life. The rammed pub, with its worn wooden walls and cozy nooks, is the perfect setting for this quintessentially British tradition. The Harvest Festival was an important annual event in the rural calendar, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the winter months. It was a time for the community to come together, share a meal, and celebrate the hard work and dedication of the farmers and laborers. The photograph captures the spirit of this tradition, with people lifting and tossing marrows, laughing and chatting, and enjoying each other's company. The image is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, and a reminder of the importance of community and tradition in rural life. Norman Synge Waller Budd's photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Harvest Festival, and a reminder of the simple pleasures and traditions that continue to bring people together, even in today's modern world.
