EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1963, we are transported back to the Tyneside Summer Exhibition in Newcastle. The focal point of the photograph is Mr Derek De Cora, a talented puppeteer who is enchanting his young audience with a Punch and Judy show. With a mischievous grin on his face, Mr De Cora holds two intricately crafted puppets up close for two mesmerized girls to admire. The annual event at Exhibition Park brings joy and excitement to children from all over the North East. As they gather around Mr De Cora's stage, their eyes widen with anticipation as they watch the timeless tale unfold before them. The vibrant energy of summer radiates through their smiles and laughter. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also the essence of childhood innocence and wonderment. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when entertainment was found in simple pleasures like puppet shows rather than screens or gadgets. D Denholm's skillful composition transports us back to an era where community events like this brought people together, creating lasting memories for generations to come. This print encapsulates the magic that can be found within our shared history, reminding us of cherished moments that continue to shape our lives today.
