EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by Tommy Lea, we catch a glimpse of Mr Gallou Pierre, a French man from Plouenan, Finistere. It is the year 1952, and he has just arrived in Bristol with his beloved onion securely fastened to his bicycle. Known for his fondness for onions, Mr Pierre takes great pride in showcasing this unique mode of transportation. As we zoom in on the image, we notice that Mr Pierre not only enjoys onions but also indulges in another English delight - a stick of celery. With a smile on his face and an air of contentment surrounding him, he savors every bite while pedaling through the streets of Bristol. This snapshot encapsulates the simplicity and charm of life during the 1950s. The black-and-white tones transport us back to an era where bicycles were more than just means of transportation; they were symbols of freedom and adventure. Tommy Lea's photograph reminds us that even amidst cultural differences, there are shared pleasures such as food that can bring people together. Whether it be French onions or English celery sticks enjoyed on two wheels, these small moments create lasting memories. This print serves as a delightful reminder to embrace our passions and find joy in life's simple pleasures - much like Mr Gallou Pierre did all those years ago.
