EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Trafalgar Square London February 1974" we are transported back to a time when the unexpected and unconventional reigned supreme. The image captures a truly bizarre moment as rag students from Liverpool University took to the fountains in Trafalgar Square for an impromptu canoeing adventure. The scene is nothing short of extraordinary, with these daring individuals fearlessly navigating their canoes through the gushing water amidst the grandeur of one of London's most iconic landmarks. Their audacity caught the attention of law enforcement, as police officers intervened to put an end to their watery escapade. However, instead of making arrests, they opted for cautioning these adventurous souls. This snapshot from the early 1970s encapsulates a spirit of youthful rebellion and irreverence that defined an era. It serves as a testament to how even in such formal settings like Trafalgar Square, there was room for spontaneity and humor. Photographer Eric Piper masterfully captured this unusual sight with his lens, freezing forever this peculiar intersection between tradition and eccentricity. This photograph not only elicits laughter but also invites us to reflect on our own willingness to break free from societal norms and embrace moments of pure joy and silliness. As we gaze upon this vintage gem from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that life is too short not to seize every opportunity for fun and merriment - even if it means paddling through fountains in one
