EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Eggstravagance?", we are transported back to the 1980s, a time when Easter traditions and customs were celebrated with great fervor. The image captures Rosalyn Beck, the Manageress of Thorntons, as she delicately holds a colossal 32-pound Easter egg on April 9th, 1987. The sheer size of this magnificent chocolate creation is awe-inspiring. It stands as a testament to the indulgence and extravagance associated with Easter festivities during that era. As we gaze at Rosalyn's hands carefully cradling the enormous egg, it becomes evident that her admiration for its craftsmanship is matched only by her restraint in not succumbing to temptation and taking a bite. This photograph serves as a reminder of the significance of Easter eggs in Christian culture. Symbolizing new life and rebirth, they have long been intertwined with religious beliefs surrounding Jesus Christ's resurrection. The tradition of exchanging eggs during this holy season has endured through generations. Beyond its religious connotations, however, this image also speaks to our love affair with sweets and shopping experiences. It transports us back to an era when large-scale shops like Thorntons offered customers an array of delectable treats for special occasions like Easter. As we delve into Memory Lane Prints' collection from NCJ Archive, let us appreciate how one photograph can encapsulate multiple facets: history, religion, tradition, commerce – all woven together within the frame capturing Rosal
