EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kay Snap - Mr Cotton the Draper' by Terry Parker, transports us back to the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the 1930s. The image showcases a jovial and plump man, dressed in the attire of a traditional English draper or textile merchant. Mr. Cotton, with his red nose and twinkling eyes, exudes warmth and charm as he engages in a friendly game of cards with his colleagues. The photograph is set against the backdrop of a cluttered yet organized textile shop, with rolls of colorful fabrics and various textiles adorning the walls and shelves. The man in question wears a smart waistcoat, a striped shirt, and a pair of black and white trousers. He is seen holding a card game in his hand, while his tailored jacket and tails, reminiscent of a tailcoat, hang neatly on a nearby rack. The design of the photograph is simple yet effective, with the use of light and shadow to create depth and dimension. The men in the photograph, all dressed in the uniform of the tradesmen of the time, add to the authenticity and nostalgia of the image. The overall composition of the photograph is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the essence of camaraderie, trade, and the textile industry during the 1930s.
