EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the 11th of August, 1955, where young Clare Whitwell from Rotherfield, Sussex, experiences a timeless tradition at the annual Girl Guide Camp. The image captures the exuberance and joy that radiates from her as she undergoes the exhilarating ritual of blanket tossing. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Christs Hospital in Horsham, Sussex, this photograph by Fox Photos/Getty Images beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time. The innocence and excitement on Clare's face is palpable as she becomes airborne while being propelled high into the sky by her fellow Girl Guides. The simplicity of this monochromatic format only enhances our focus on Clare's expression and body language. It serves as a reminder of an era when such traditional activities were cherished and celebrated within close-knit communities. This print evokes nostalgia for simpler times; it transports us to a world where children found pure delight in age-old games rather than digital distractions. Through its composition and subject matter, it invites viewers to reflect upon their own childhood memories or perhaps even inspires them to seek out similar moments of unadulterated happiness today. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, let us be reminded of the enduring power that photographs possess - capturing not just moments but also emotions that transcend time itself.
