EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Joe Court, we are transported back to a chilly winter day in the 1950s. The image captures the pure joy and wonder on the faces of eight-year-old Humbert and his six-year-old brother Somers Pedro as they experience snow for the very first time. The scene unfolds shortly after their arrival at Dover, along with 145 other Jamaicans, on that historic day of January 4th, 1955. As part of the Windrush generation, their family embarked on a journey from sunny Jamaica to cold England in search of new opportunities. Against a backdrop of glistening white snowflakes and gusts of wind, these two brothers stand side by side, bundled up in warm coats and hats. Their eyes widen with excitement as they reach out to touch the soft flakes falling from above. This photograph beautifully encapsulates not only their innocent childhood but also highlights themes such as immigration, family bonds, and cultural adaptation during that era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those who left behind familiar lands for an uncertain future. Joe Court's stunning capture freezes this precious moment in time forever - an enduring testament to resilience and hope amidst unfamiliar surroundings.
