EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the spirit of community and creativity, this print takes us back to July 1982 in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image showcases the vibrant energy of the 1st Lostwithiel Brownies as they proudly present their carnival float entry adorned as whimsical garden gnomes. Led by their dedicated Brown Owl Pat Wilton, these young girls radiate joy and enthusiasm. Set against the backdrop of the King George VI playing field, where all carnival entries gathered at that time, this snapshot highlights a momentous occasion for both participants and spectators alike. A charming tractor pulls a meticulously decorated trailer filled with fishing rods and other props, showcasing the attention to detail put into creating this delightful display. The photograph was skillfully captured by Jonathan Barker, who expertly immortalized this cherished memory. His lens perfectly encapsulates not just a group of children on an enchanting float but also reflects the rich Cornish heritage that permeates every aspect of life in Lostwithiel. This print is more than just an image; it represents unity within a small town and celebrates youthful imagination brought to life through artistry. It serves as a reminder of how local traditions like carnivals can bring communities together while fostering creativity among its youngest members.
