Punch still pleases. Intent gaze centred on a common object, this little group
Punch still pleases.
Intent gaze centred on a common object, this little group provides an amusing study in expressions on the beach at Brighton where Punch and Judy, despite the competition of more modern attractions, still holds the attention of " children " of all ages. The only one in the group not concerned however seems to be the dog - something of even greater interest among the shingle caught his roving eye.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured in Brighton on April 16,1936, the timeless appeal of Punch and Judy is evident. A small group of people, both young and old, are gathered on the beach with their eyes fixed intently on a common object - the beloved puppet show. Despite the allure of more modern attractions competing for attention, Punch still pleases. The expressions adorning each face in this little group provide an amusing study in fascination and delight. It is clear that Punch and Judy have managed to captivate not only children but also those who are young at heart. However, amidst all the excitement surrounding the performance, there is one member who seems unfazed by it all - a dog whose curiosity has been piqued by something else entirely among the shingle. This monochrome snapshot from between the wars transports us back to a simpler time when entertainment was found in simple pleasures like watching a puppet show on a sunny day at the seaside. The image exudes nostalgia as it captures a moment frozen in time where laughter filled the air and joy radiated from every face. With its historical significance and charm, this photograph serves as a reminder that some things never go out of style - like Punch's enduring ability to please audiences of all ages.
