1. Title: A Traditional English Rite of Passage: Padstow Hobby Horse May Day Celebration, Cornwall, England, 1940s This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures an intriguing moment from the ancient Padstow Hobby Horse May Day celebrations in Cornwall, England, during the 1940s. The photograph showcases the Oss, a hobby horse, being led by its teaser and attendants through the bustling streets of Padstow. The Oss, an ornately decorated wooden frame with a horse's head and tail, is a central figure in this traditional English custom. The teaser, dressed in a colorful costume, dances provocatively in front of the Oss, inviting the crowd to join in the dance. The attendants, dressed in white shirts and black trousers, follow closely behind, ensuring the safety of the Oss and the crowd. The women in the photograph can be seen trying to catch a glimpse of the Oss as it passes by, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. According to local folklore, any woman who was caught under the frame of the Oss would become pregnant before the end of the year. This belief adds to the allure and mystique of the Padstow Hobby Horse May Day celebrations, which have been taking place annually since the 16th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and customs of England, showcasing the vibrant and lively spirit of the Padstow community as they celebrate this unique tradition. The image is a testament to the enduring power of folklore and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
