EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant spirit of the Thakeham May Day Celebrations in 1947. In this delightful scene, a man with an accordion leads a merry troupe of Morris dancers through the quaint streets, accompanied by another individual donning a whimsical hobby horse costume. The sight is met with sheer amusement from onlookers who line the sidewalks, their faces filled with joy and wonder. The image showcases the rich folk traditions that have been passed down through generations, as these talented performers showcase their skillful dance moves and jingling bellpads. Each dancer exudes energy and enthusiasm, bringing life to this age-old tradition. The wooden horse adds an element of playfulness to the procession, its presence adding to the overall charm of the event. The George Garland Collection has beautifully preserved this moment in time at West Sussex Record Office Ref. No. Garland N27774.
