EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1948, we are transported back in time to a quaint outdoor setting. An elderly lady, dressed in her warm winter attire, sits gracefully alongside her beloved Pekinese dog. The bond between them is evident as they share a cozy basket together. The woman's outfit exudes timeless elegance with her stylish hat and overcoat made of luxurious astrakhan fur. Her collar frames her face beautifully, accentuating the wisdom and grace that come with age. Behind her spectacles, one can sense the keenness of her gaze as she observes the world around her. Beside her loyal companion, she seems to be engaged in conversation with someone outside the frame - perhaps another photographer capturing their candid moment? As if aware of being watched herself, she playfully acknowledges their presence by stating "I'm keeping an eye on this photographer". Little does she know that there is yet another observer nearby who shares the same sentiment. This endearing snapshot captures not only a delightful interaction but also serves as a testament to the enduring companionship between humans and animals throughout history. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection under Ref. No. Garland N29421, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where simplicity and connection were cherished values.
