EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from March 1979, we witness an unusual collaboration between two prominent political figures, Jim Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher. However, their unity is not what it seems as they stand side by side in front of a peculiar invention known as electronic scarecrows. Created by farmers Robert and John Foster of Badingham, Suffolk, these seven-foot-tall scarecrows are equipped with remarkable features that mimic human movements. With waving arms, turning heads, and even the ability to switch themselves off at nightfall, these innovative creations aim to protect crops from pesky birds. What makes these scarecrows truly unique is their customizable faces. Supplied naked with plain faces by the Fosters' company Changing Faces. . . , customers have the freedom to transform them into any character they desire – including politicians like Callaghan or Thatcher.
