The Albie Collection

Albie, brother and other children in lake

Photographer: Unknown | Date: c1940s

IN ALBIE’S WORDS: I don’t remember this picture…I have a very faint memory of going to… it's not even a lake; it's a part of a river on a picnic. We loved picnics. A picnic was a big thing, fun, meeting other children in a new place, eating nice things and playing games. People laughed a lot at picnics, though in the picture we look a bit disconsolate as we are asked to smile for the camera. Then, when the roll of film was complete, it would be taken to the chemist to be developed. If you were lucky, you would get the pictures back in a week and remember the moment when you were standing in the water.
