Heres the town crier - a 1943 version - the girl on the crier

Heres the town crier - a 1943 version - the girl on the criers arm used all her charm to be allowed to wear his regalia (you know what women are!) and beneath his civic dignity, and his stentorian voice, he has a soft heart - he allows the girl to wear the regalia, and try out her voice with the aid of the bell. Plymouth, 2nd August 1943

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Here's the town crier - a 1943 version" we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Plymouth during World War II. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the town crier, resplendent in his ceremonial attire and exuding an air of civic dignity. However, what truly steals the show is the young girl perched on his arm, her eyes shining with excitement. It seems that this spirited girl has used all her charm to persuade the town crier into allowing her to wear his regalia – after all, who can resist a determined woman? Beneath his stern exterior and stentorian voice lies a soft heart as he indulges her innocent request. With bell in hand, she eagerly tries out her own vocal prowess while donning the prestigious garments. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights how traditions endure even amidst tumultuous times. As war rages on, public pronouncements still hold their importance in keeping communities informed and united. The town crier symbolizes resilience and continuity amid chaos. Through this photograph from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, we catch a glimpse of life during the 1940s – an era defined by its unique fashion choices and unwavering spirit. It serves as a reminder that even during dark times, moments of joy and innocence can be found if one knows where to look.
