EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Topham, we are transported back to the winter of 1938 near Orpington. The image showcases a determined motorist battling against the elements as he tries to free his car from the clutches of deep snow on Polhill road. The scene is filled with contrasting textures; the cold, pristine white snow blankets everything in sight, while bare branches reach out from nearby trees like skeletal fingers. A sturdy fence stands tall in the background, seemingly untouched by the wintry conditions. With a spade in hand, our protagonist can be seen tirelessly digging around his stuck vehicle. It's an arduous task made even more challenging by the freezing temperatures that surround him. Nearby, a sidecar and motorbike stand abandoned, also victims of nature's icy grip. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both the resilience and struggle faced by individuals during this period between two world wars. It serves as a reminder of how even everyday tasks could become monumental challenges when confronted with adverse weather conditions. Topham's monochrome masterpiece not only freezes this moment in time but also transports us into an era where determination was key and where man battled against nature for control over their own mobility - all within one frame.
