EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to the vibrant Pulborough Fete held in June 1943. The focal point of this delightful snapshot is Lady Mayo, gracefully adorned in a fur coat and an exquisite hat, as she is presented with a beautiful bouquet by a young girl. The image encapsulates the essence of a bygone era, capturing both the elegance of Lady Mayo's attire and the innocence radiating from the young girl's face. The contrast between their ages and social statuses creates an intriguing dynamic within the photograph. As we delve deeper into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that this presentation holds great significance. Perhaps Lady Mayo was being honored for her philanthropic efforts or her dedication to serving her community during these challenging times. The flowers held delicately in the hands of the young girl symbolize admiration and appreciation towards Lady Mayo. They serve as tokens of gratitude for her contributions and represent unity within Pulborough's tight-knit community. Preserved meticulously by West Sussex Record Office under reference number Garland N22327, this print offers us a glimpse into an enchanting chapter of local history. It reminds us not only of past events but also serves as a testament to how communities come together to celebrate remarkable individuals who have made lasting impacts on society.
