EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Duncton old men at cribbage - December 1940" we are transported back in time to a cozy pub nestled in the heart of West Sussex. The image captures a group of weathered characters engrossed in an intense game of cribbage, their faces etched with wisdom and experience. Gathered around an inviting inglenook fireplace, its warm glow illuminating the room, these elderly gentlemen find solace and camaraderie amidst the harsh winter months. Each player is adorned with a distinctive hat or cap, adding a touch of character to their already fascinating personalities. Their well-worn hands expertly maneuver cards as they strategize and compete for victory. Time seems to stand still within this timeless scene, as laughter mingles with the clinking of pint glasses. This remarkable photograph from the Garland Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, offers us a glimpse into both history and humanity. It reminds us that even during times of turmoil such as December 1940 when World War II raged on, simple pleasures like card games shared among friends could provide respite from life's challenges. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize how it encapsulates the resilience and spirit found within communities throughout history.
