EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing two beautifully dressed girls at Battersea Pleasure Gardens during the Festival of Britain in 1951. The "Orange & Lavender Girls" are exquisitely styled in costumes designed by Peggy Page, with fabric provided by Balcora. The attention to detail is evident in their wide skirts, bonnets, and baskets filled with oranges and lavender - a delightful nod to the theme of the festival.
The historical significance of this image is palpable, as it offers a glimpse into the cultural festivities that took place during this time period. The vibrant colors of orange and lavender pop against the backdrop of the gardens, creating a visually striking scene that is both nostalgic and enchanting.
As we admire these pretty girls in their elaborate costumes, we are transported back to a time when exhibitions like this were commonplace - a celebration of artistry, creativity, and community spirit. This print serves as a reminder of our rich history and heritage, capturing a moment frozen in time for us to appreciate and cherish for years to come.
