Mrs Lorna Barnicoat of North Quay House, Falmouth, Cornwall hangs out her washing in
Mrs Lorna Barnicoat of North Quay House, Falmouth, Cornwall hangs out her washing in the back garden of her home with fourteen month old baby David kept inside a lobster pot for safety.
David is happy enough in the lobster pot for a few minutes and its worth a couple of sweet biscuits to his mum to know that he is safely away from the quayside.
13th April 1949

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in Time: A Glimpse into 1940s Motherhood". In this photo print, we witness a snapshot of Mrs Lorna Barnicoat's daily life in the quaint town of Falmouth, Cornwall. With her apron on and determination in her eyes, she hangs out her laundry in the serene back garden of North Quay House. However, what truly steals the spotlight is the sight of little fourteen-month-old David safely nestled inside a lobster pot. As unconventional as it may seem to modern eyes, this ingenious solution brings both amusement and relief to Mrs Barnicoat. Knowing that her adventurous son is securely confined away from the bustling quayside fills her heart with reassurance. And for just a couple of sweet biscuits, she gladly accepts this temporary arrangement. Caught between curiosity and contentment, young David appears surprisingly happy within his unique enclosure. His innocent expressions reveal an unsuspecting child who finds joy even in unexpected situations. This photograph not only captures a domestic scene but also encapsulates the essence of motherhood during that era. It speaks volumes about the resourcefulness and resilience required by women like Mrs Lorna Barnicoat as they navigated their roles as housewives while caring for their beloved children. Lewis' lens has immortalized this precious moment from April 13th, 1949 - forever preserving an extraordinary glimpse into childhood innocence amidst everyday chores.
