EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the bizarre spectacle of the World Gurning Competition, captured in this intriguing print from Memory Lane Prints. Taken on July 27th, 1970, at the renowned Egremont Crab Fair, this image transports us back to a time when facial expressions took center stage. In this shot, we are introduced to a lone competitor who embodies both courage and eccentricity. With his face contorted into an astonishingly grotesque expression, he wears a harness-like contraption known as a yoke around his head. This peculiar accessory adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. The 1970s marked an era where unconventional events like gurning competitions gained popularity worldwide. Participants would showcase their ability to distort their faces in unimaginable ways, eliciting laughter and awe from spectators. This particular contestant's dedication is evident through his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of ugliness. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that human curiosity knows no bounds. The World Gurning Competition stands as a testament to our innate desire for entertainment and amusement – even if it means embracing our own imperfections. Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive these extraordinary moments from history with their collection of evocative prints. Through images like this one, they invite us on a journey through time while celebrating the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make us uniquely human.
