EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1937, where we find ourselves at Tilbury Docks in Essex, England. The image showcases a spacious new building that was specifically constructed for examining the baggage of passengers arriving from liners. It is a testament to the architectural wonders of the time. The scene captures a bustling day at the docks, with people of all walks of life going about their business. Men and women can be seen carrying luggage, while others patiently wait their turn inside the grand hall. The print perfectly encapsulates the essence of travel during this era – an exciting adventure filled with anticipation. The monochrome tones add depth and character to this snapshot frozen in time. As we observe closely, we notice a lady elegantly dressed alongside men wearing suits and hats; they represent both travelers and workers within this thriving shipping industry. This remarkable print comes from "Shipping Wonders of the World" edited by Clarence Winchester and published by Fleetway House in London. It serves as a valuable historical document showcasing not only Tilbury's significance as a maritime hub but also Britain's prominence in global transportation. As we gaze upon this image, our imagination takes flight, envisioning countless stories hidden within each piece of luggage waiting to be discovered on distant shores.
