EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 11th of October 1953, we witness a remarkable feat of angling prowess and sheer audacity. Mr. E. Drury, driven by an adventurous spirit and perhaps a touch of mischief, finds himself perched on the rooftop of The Savoy Hotel in London. With a mischievous glint in his eye and a fishing rod firmly in hand, Mr. Drury prepares to cast his line towards the mighty River Thames below. A wager has been made, challenging him to reach over 100 yards away from his lofty vantage point. As spectators gather around with anticipation and amusement, Mr. Drury takes aim and releases his line into the air with expert precision. The crowd holds its breath as it sails through the crisp autumn sky towards its watery target. This extraordinary display combines elements of sport, humor, and daring adventure that were characteristic of the vibrant atmosphere within inner London during the 1950s. It captures a moment frozen in time when individuals sought unconventional ways to entertain themselves amidst bustling city life. The iconic Waterloo Bridge stands tall in the background as if silently observing this whimsical spectacle unfolding before it - an unlikely fusion between urban landscape and rural pastime. This delightful photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even within concrete jungles like London's inner boroughs, there is always room for playful escapades that tickle our imagination.
