EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print titled "Swinging on the Stars" we are transported back to December 1953 at the winter quarters of Bertram Mills Circus in Ascot, Berkshire. The image captures a heartwarming moment between four-year-old Hilary Yelding and two-ton elephants Hungoly and Lech during a break from rehearsing. As Hilary gleefully swings high above the ground, her laughter fills the air, bringing joy to all who witness it. Kruse, the trainer of these magnificent creatures, can be seen playfully urging Hilary to bring an end to their swinging adventure. With Olympia's grand opening just around the corner on December 18th, time is of the essence for final preparations. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both the magic and hard work that go into creating a spectacular circus performance. The composition exudes charm with its vintage aesthetic and showcases not only animals but also entertainment and humor intertwined within one frame. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when circuses were filled with wonderment and excitement for audiences young and old alike. This photograph from Memory Lane Prints allows us to relish in cherished memories while appreciating how far our world has come since then. It invites us to reflect on our own childhood adventures while reminding us of the importance of preserving traditions that bring people together through shared experiences like those found under circus big tops long ago.
