EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print from 1959, we catch a glimpse of a typical family holiday scene. It was dad's turn to take care of the kids while mom enjoyed some well-deserved relaxation. Meet Gerald Perkins, a seasoned expert in nappy changing, as he skillfully pins one side of his 11-month-old baby daughter Una's nappy on the picturesque beach at New Brighton, Merseyside. With an endearing safety pin clenched between his teeth, Gerald showcases both his multitasking abilities and dedication to fatherhood. The image captures the essence of parenting in the 1950s - fathers taking an active role in childcare duties while mothers took a break from their daily responsibilities. Surrounded by deckchairs filled with other holidaymakers enjoying Easter festivities, this seaside resort served as the perfect backdrop for creating cherished family memories. The joyous atmosphere is palpable as families come together to relax and unwind during their holidays. This nostalgic snapshot not only reflects the simplicity and innocence of that era but also highlights how gender roles have evolved over time. It reminds us that even amidst bustling tourism and vibrant holiday scenes, it is these precious moments shared between parents and children that truly endure through generations. Captured by Charlie Owens for Memory Lane Prints, this timeless photograph serves as a heartwarming reminder of love, family bonds, and the joys found within everyday moments.
