EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we see Miss Gillian Wiles, the dedicated Chislehurst Library Assistant from St Pauls Cray, Kent. The year is 1951, and she stands in awe before a remarkable piece of history - a 200-year-old copy of Britannia (1722). This photograph was taken at an exhibition commemorating the 400th anniversary of William Camden's death. Miss Wiles' admiration for this ancient tome is palpable as she gazes upon its weathered pages with reverence. Her eyes sparkle with curiosity and appreciation for the knowledge contained within those centuries-old words. As an assistant librarian, her passion for preserving history shines through her every pore. The setting itself adds to the allure of this image; it takes place in Chislehurst Library on May 9th. The library's shelves are filled with countless records and historical artifacts that have stood witness to generations passing by. Miss Wiles stands amidst these treasures, embodying the spirit of preservation and education. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the essence of personal dedication to one's craft. It serves as a reminder that behind every great institution lies individuals like Miss Gillian Wiles who tirelessly work to keep our collective heritage alive
