EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to September 1944, a time when love and celebration triumphed even amidst the chaos of war. The image captures a contemporary bridal car adorned with elegant ribbons as it gracefully departs from a joyous wedding reception. The newlyweds are bid farewell by an exuberant crowd of well-wishers, their cheers echoing through the air. The photograph not only offers us a glimpse into the fashion and style of the 1940s but also showcases the resilience and determination of those living in that era. Despite rationing and scarcity, love prevailed, and weddings were still celebrated with utmost grandeur. The transport vehicle itself is reminiscent of its time - complete with sleek headlights, sturdy bumpers, and a running board that adds to its charm. It serves as a symbol of hope for brighter days ahead while simultaneously representing how life continued despite wartime challenges. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under reference number N23631, this print encapsulates an important moment in history where love conquered all obstacles. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us be reminded of the strength found within communities during times of adversity and cherish our own moments filled with joy and celebration.
