EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the 'Summer of Love' in 1967, as a group of hippies come together in a blissful moment of peace and unity at the Woburn Free Festival in Bedfordshire, England. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Woburn Park, this historical scene represents a pivotal moment in 20th century British social history. The hippies, dressed in vibrant paisley prints and flowers, are seen dancing together in a carefree and joyful manner, with some appearing to partake in the use of psychoactive substances. The atmosphere of the festival was one of love, peace, and freedom, as thousands of young people from all walks of life gathered to celebrate the counterculture movement that was sweeping across the world. The original 'Summer of Love' in San Francisco, California, had kicked off the trend, and the Woburn Free Festival was just one of many similar events that took place throughout the UK during the summer of 1967. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when the world seemed to come together in a shared desire for peace, love, and self-expression. The festival at Woburn Park took place in August of that year, and the scenes depicted in this photograph have become iconic symbols of the 1960s counterculture movement. This image not only captures the spirit of the era but also serves as an important historical document, offering a glimpse into a time when the world seemed to be on the cusp of great change.
