EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of a Knickerbocker Glory, a delightful treat that will only set you back £2.25p. But don't be fooled, this isn't an edible delight; it's actually made of plastic and serves as a charming ornament. Just like cherished silverware displayed on a sideboard, this Knickerbocker Glory is meant to be admired rather than devoured. During the groovy era of 1970s London, where kitsch reigned supreme, objects like these were highly sought after in Shepherd Market. This peculiar trend for flamboyant vulgarity had taken hold of the city's imagination, and people couldn't resist adding quirky pieces like this to their collections. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the past—a nostalgic reminder of an era when food became art and ornaments took on playful forms. It transports us back to March 1972 when this particular object d'art was capturing hearts with its whimsical charm. As we admire this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, let's appreciate how it encapsulates not just food or kitsch but also the spirit of an entire decade. It reminds us that sometimes even everyday objects can become symbols of cultural trends and societal shifts.
