EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1920s, we are transported back in time to a bygone era of rural charm and nostalgic fairgrounds. The image showcases a charismatic showman standing proudly in front of a coconut shy, his infectious smile hinting at the joy and excitement that awaits those who dare to take on the challenge. Behind him, horse-drawn caravans create an enchanting backdrop, evoking images of simpler times when traveling circuses were a cherished form of entertainment. The scene is not only visually stunning but also offers glimpses into the fashion trends of young girls during this period. Their dresses exude innocence and elegance, with delicate lace trims and bows adorning their outfits. These young ladies add an air of gracefulness as they eagerly await their turn at the coconut shy. Photographed by George Garland and part of the esteemed Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable snapshot captures both the spirit of adventure found within rural communities and our collective yearning for days gone by. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst modernity's fast-paced world, there is still room for nostalgia and appreciation for our rich cultural heritage
