EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1953 in Perry Barr, Birmingham. Three-year-old Colin is captured peeping over Mr E Mountfords' astonishing creation - the Green Monster. This freak cabbage, grown at Mr Mountfords' plot on Frenchise Street, stands as a testament to nature's whimsical wonders. Colin, who lives next door to Mr Mountford, couldn't resist the temptation to explore this giant vegetable that has taken his neighborhood by storm. With a mischievous glint in his eyes and an infectious smile on his face, he playfully hides behind the enormous leaves of the Green Monster. The sheer size and unusual appearance of this vegetable have sparked both awe and humor among locals. Its towering presence adds a touch of magic to everyday life in West Midlands during that era. This snapshot beautifully captures childhood innocence and curiosity as Colin engages with something truly extraordinary. The expressions on his face tell a story of wonderment and joy that transcends time. Maitland's skillful photography transports us back to an era where simple pleasures like encountering oversized vegetables brought immense delight. This image serves as a delightful reminder that even amidst ordinary surroundings, there is always room for unexpected marvels – whether they be green monsters or cherished memories from days gone by.
