EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of wartime austerity, this poignant photograph showcases a moment of respite and hope. The image transports us back to September 8th, 1944, when Selfridges' bargain basement became a haven for those seeking affordable attire amidst the chaos of World War II. Mens austerity suits were offered at half price and half coupon value, providing an opportunity for individuals like Mrs Garton from Burnt Oak to dress her son Walter with dignity. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Mrs Garton carefully selecting a suit while her young son stands by her side. The anticipation on their faces speaks volumes about the significance of this purchase – not merely as clothing but as a symbol of normalcy and perseverance during times of conflict. Meanwhile, master Robben observes the scene with curiosity and perhaps envy. His presence reminds us that even children were affected by the hardships imposed by war. Yet within these challenging circumstances lies an enduring spirit that refuses to be diminished. This evocative print encapsulates both the struggles and resilience experienced during the 1940s. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil, life continues; people adapt and find solace in small moments such as purchasing discounted garments for loved ones.
