EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Boys have good fun with an improvised raft on the village pond at Orpington, Kent" we are transported back to a simpler time between the wars. The image captures a group of young boys, their faces beaming with excitement and mischief, as they embark on an adventure in their makeshift raft. Set against the serene backdrop of the village pond, these resourceful lads have ingeniously crafted a raft using rolled-up trousers and shorts tied together with ropes. With caps firmly placed atop their heads, they exude a sense of youthful energy and camaraderie that is truly infectious. What makes this scene even more endearing is the feeling of safety surrounding them. The water beneath them barely reaches two feet deep, allowing for carefree exploration without any worry or fear. It's evident that this simple act of play has become an escape from reality for these boys - a chance to let their imaginations run wild while forging lasting memories. "Boys have good fun with an improvised raft on the village pond at Orpington, Kent" by Between The Wars showcases not only the innocence and joy of childhood but also highlights the ingenuity born out of necessity during challenging times. This timeless photograph serves as a reminder that sometimes all it takes is some creativity and companionship to find happiness amidst simplicity.
