EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from April 1968, we are transported back to a bygone era as we witness George Rees, Britain's oldest butchers boy, skillfully riding his push-bike through the bustling streets. The image captures not only the essence of a hardworking individual but also showcases the timeless fashion choices of that time. George stands out in his dapper attire, wearing a bowler hat with pride and an immaculate overcoat that conceals his traditional blue and white striped apron. It is evident that he takes great care in presenting himself professionally while carrying out his duties. As our eyes wander to the front basket of George's bicycle, it becomes apparent why he rides with such purpose. It is filled to the brim with choice joints and succulent cutlets alongside plump prime sausages - undoubtedly destined for satisfied customers' tables. The photograph immortalizes an elderly man who has dedicated years to serving his community as a trusted butcher's delivery boy. His weathered face tells tales of experience and resilience, embodying the spirit of generations past. This snapshot serves as a reminder of simpler times when personalized service was valued above all else. George Rees symbolizes both tradition and adaptability as he navigates through life on two wheels – delivering more than just meat; he delivers nostalgia itself.
