EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Carry On, 1941" taken by renowned artist Cecil Beaton, we are transported back to a local pub during the tumultuous times of World War II. The image beautifully captures a group of men who have gathered together, following the government's advice to "Keep Calm and Carry On". Amidst the backdrop of war-torn buildings, these resilient individuals find solace within the walls of this public house. Their faces reflect both weariness and determination as they seek refuge from the chaos outside. With pints in hand, they share camaraderie and support each other through these challenging times. The poster hanging prominently on the wall serves as a reminder of their duty and resilience in the face of adversity. It symbolizes their unwavering spirit to carry on despite the hardships that surround them. Cecil Beaton's masterful composition not only captures a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions that resonate even today. Through his lens, he immortalizes an era defined by sacrifice, unity, and unwavering resolve. This powerful print from Beaton's collection "Air of Glory" is not just a historical artifact; it is a testament to human strength amidst turmoil. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even in our darkest hours, there is always hope – if we can find solace within one another and carry on with courage.
