EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A little girl in a Manchester department store is upset by the doves in Santa's Grotto when one lands on her head" we are transported back to December 1954, immersing ourselves in the innocence and wonder of childhood during Christmas time. The image captures a poignant moment where joy turns into surprise and then tears as an unexpected visitor perches upon the little girl's head. The bustling atmosphere of the department store serves as a backdrop, with festive decorations adorning every corner. Amidst all the excitement, it is clear that this particular encounter has left our young protagonist feeling overwhelmed. Her expressive face tells a story of mixed emotions – from astonishment to fear and eventually sadness. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both humor and vulnerability, reminding us of those precious moments when reality collides with fantasy. It invites us to reflect on our own childhood memories, perhaps recalling instances where unexpected events disrupted our sense of security or momentarily shattered our belief in magic. Taken by Lyon, an artist known for capturing authentic human experiences through his lens, this image resonates not only because it evokes nostalgia but also because it reminds us that even amidst holiday cheer, children can experience genuine distress. Through Lyon's skillful composition and timing, he immortalizes a fleeting yet relatable moment that continues to touch hearts decades later.
