EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of post-war Britain, the iconic Trafalgar Square stood as a symbol of resilience and endurance, its permanent features offering an unexpected yet delightful proposition for an emerging sporting community. Paper chasers, a humorous and lighthearted pastime, found in Trafalgar Square an ideal venue to test their skills and compete against one another. Paper chasing, a game of height and agility, required participants to toss a rolled-up sheet of paper as high as they could and then race to retrieve it before their opponents. The historic square, with its impressive columned buildings and grandiose statues, provided the perfect backdrop for this playful competition. The photograph captures the essence of this unique moment in history, with paper chasers in determined focus as they leap towards the sky, their eyes fixed on the paper as it soars above the bustling crowd. The heights they reach, both literal and metaphorical, reflect the spirit of post-war Britain – a time of renewal, innovation, and the pursuit of joy in the simplest of pleasures. This image, taken in the late 1940s, is a testament to the power of community and the importance of finding joy in everyday life. It is a reminder that even in the most unexpected places, we can discover opportunities for fun, camaraderie, and personal growth.
