EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque Southwick Green in Sussex, a place that has become the center of controversy. The question at hand is whether to suspend the villagers' ancient use of the cricket green due to concerns over pedestrian safety and traffic hazards. In this historic moment, Peter Mais, seen on the right side of the image, emerges as a champion for the villagers' cause. Taken on 2nd December 1932 by renowned photographer Alfieri, this monochrome snapshot showcases a slice of life from Europe during the 1930s. The village view portrays adults gathered around buildings on Southwick Green, their expressions reflecting both determination and concern. The photograph not only documents an ongoing dispute but also serves as a reminder of how societal progress can sometimes challenge cherished traditions. As modernity encroaches upon age-old customs, conflicts like these arise all too often. Alfieri's lens captures more than just people; it encapsulates an era marked by change and transformation. This image becomes part of Europeana Photography's collection - preserving moments frozen in time for future generations to reflect upon. While commercial usage is not mentioned here, this photograph stands as a testament to our collective history. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane village greens hold stories worth telling – stories that shape communities and spark debates about what should be preserved or altered in pursuit of progress.
