EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A hint of naughtiness, and all for sixpence (old pennies at that)" by NCJ, we are transported back to the late 1950s on Newcastle's Town Moor during the Hoppings fair. The image captures a moment of pure entertainment and nostalgia. The vibrant atmosphere of the fairground is palpable as families and friends gather to indulge in some old-fashioned fun. Amidst the laughter and excitement, there is an air of curiosity surrounding one particular sideshow attraction. It seems that for just sixpence, visitors were treated to a tantalizing glimpse of something slightly risqué. This photograph offers us a fascinating glimpse into the social dynamics and attitudes towards sexuality during that era. While it may have been considered scandalous or taboo at the time, it also hints at society's fascination with exploring boundaries within acceptable limits. The women featured in this image exude confidence as they embrace their roles as entertainers. Their performances likely challenged societal norms while providing an outlet for both titillation and amusement. This snapshot serves as a reminder that even amidst conservative times, people sought out moments of escapism and lightheartedness. NCJ's skillful composition allows us to relive these fleeting moments from decades past – capturing not only the essence of entertainment but also offering insight into cultural shifts over time. As we gaze upon this intriguing print, we can't help but be reminded of how our perceptions have evolved since those days on
