EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of post-war London in 1946. The image beautifully captures a group of children joyfully playing the age-old nursery rhyme game, "Oranges and Lemons" within the historic walls of the Church of St Clement Danes. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear their laughter echoing through the grand halls. Their innocent faces radiate pure happiness as they engage in this timeless childhood pastime. It is evident that even amidst challenging times, these resilient youngsters found solace and delight in simple games. The composition showcases a medium-sized group of children, each fully immersed in their roles as oranges or lemons. They form a circle, holding hands tightly while singing along to the familiar tune that has been passed down from generation to generation. George Greenwell's expert photography skills capture not only their animated expressions but also every intricate detail of this historical church's architecture. The playfulness juxtaposed against such an awe-inspiring backdrop creates a visually striking contrast. This remarkable photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even during difficult periods, children possess an innate ability to find joy and create lasting memories through imaginative play. It transports us back to an era when innocence prevailed over hardship and reminds us all to cherish those moments where laughter filled our hearts without reservation or concern for tomorrow
