EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic scene from a bank holiday fair at Blackheath. The image showcases a coconut shy, enticing visitors to test their aim and win prizes. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this photograph is now part of a private collection. The picture transports us back to the carefree days of childhood, where fun and leisure were found in simple games like throwing caps at coconuts. It evokes feelings of joy and excitement as we imagine the laughter of children and the competitive spirit among friends. The historic significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of British culture but also its connection to Germany. In the early 20th century, German influences were prevalent in England's fairgrounds, adding an international touch to these local events.
