EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1900s, four elegant young women proudly promote the News of the World newspaper outside J Berrys Newsagents in Crediton, Devon. Dressed in fancy Edwardian costumes, these promo girls add an air of excitement and allure to the ordinary newsstand. The scene takes place during the Crediton Carnival, a local celebration that brought the community together in joy and merriment. The girls' outfits are a striking contrast to the simple attire of the bygone era. Their elaborate costumes, adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors, are a testament to the creativity and artistry of the time. Each girl wears a unique design, showcasing a diverse range of styles that reflect the individuality of each model. The girls' poses exude confidence and charm as they engage with the passersby, inviting them to purchase the latest edition of the News of the World. The girls' faces are animated with enthusiasm, their eyes sparkling with excitement as they share the latest news and stories from around the world. The News of the World logo, proudly displayed on the girls' outfits, adds a sense of professionalism and legitimacy to their promotional efforts. The newspaper, which was known for its sensational coverage of news, sports, and entertainment, was a staple of the time and a source of fascination for people from all walks of life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when news was shared through physical newspapers and community events brought people together. The girls' costumes, the bustling newsstand, and the lively atmosphere of the Crediton Carnival all contribute to a rich and intriguing historical tableau.
