EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 1954, we see a group of children on Exmouth beach, their eyes filled with wonder as they gaze at an ancient Barrel Organ. The man responsible for this magical moment is Mr Percy Tucker, a humble bus conductor who had the opportunity to fulfill his lifelong dream through the Daily Mirror competition. As the children gather around him, Percy's face beams with joy as he plays the organ, filling the air with enchanting melodies that transport everyone back in time. It is evident that these contraptions are becoming increasingly rare, making this experience all the more special. Exmouth beach provides the perfect backdrop for this heartwarming scene. With its sandy shores and sparkling waves, it embodies everything we love about childhood summers by the coast. The carefree laughter and excitement radiating from these youngsters capture a snapshot of pure happiness. This photograph not only captures a beautiful moment but also reminds us of simpler times when music was enough to bring people together. It serves as a reminder of how dreams can come true no matter our station in life and how small acts of kindness can create lasting memories. Bela Zola's skillful composition immortalizes this precious memory from Life in the Mirror series – an ode to nostalgia and innocence.
