EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Festive Corn Dolly and Bauble Display, c.1960 This image showcases a charming and unique decorative arrangement from the 1960s, featuring a corn dolly and baubles. The corn dolly, a traditional English harvest figure, is made from the dried and woven stalks of grain. Its witch-like figure is dressed in a gingham headscarf, and it balances on a broomstick. A length of black thread is attached to the corn dolly, adding a whimsical touch. In the background, a wreath made of orange and red baubles adorns the wall. Baubles are glass or plastic decorations used to embellish Christmas trees. The vibrant colors of the baubles contrast beautifully with the earthy tones of the corn dolly, creating a delightful and celebratory scene. The image is captured in a horizontal, group shot format, providing a clear and detailed view of the decorative objects. The white background allows the colors and intricacies of the baubles and corn dolly to stand out, making this a truly captivating and eye-catching display. This photograph, taken in the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past and the rich folklore and traditions of rural England. The corn dolly and baubles, once used as furnishings to celebrate the harvest and the festive season, continue to be cherished symbols of the joy and warmth that these occasions bring.
