EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from FlightGlobal, captured on January 22nd, 1959, we witness the remarkable Pauline Rawnsley-Gurd effortlessly balancing her duties as a BOAC receptionist at London Airport while indulging in her imaginative pursuits. Despite being firmly grounded in her job role, Pauline's creative spirit takes flight as she unveils these exquisite handmade cherubs. The image encapsulates the essence of a woman who refuses to let the constraints of reality confine her dreams. With delicate wings and cherubic features meticulously crafted by hand, these ethereal figures seem to come alive under Pauline's skillful touch. As if defying gravity itself, they hover gracefully above her desk - a testament to both her artistic talent and unwavering determination. Pauline's ability to seamlessly blend practicality with imagination is truly inspiring. While attending to passengers' needs and ensuring smooth operations at one of London's busiest airports, she finds solace in creating these enchanting cherubs that transport us into a world where anything is possible. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder that even within the confines of our daily routines, there exists endless potential for creativity and self-expression. It celebrates individuals like Pauline Rawnsley-Gurd who dare to dream beyond their immediate surroundings and infuse magic into the ordinary aspects of life.
