EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Direction Towards Progress: Two Gentlemen Navigate the Roads of Surrey County, 1931" This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as two well-dressed men pause to consult a Surrey County Council signpost. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quiet, winding country road, dotted with lush greenery and the occasional tree. The first man, dressed in a smart bowler hat, suit, and gaiters, gazes intently at the signpost, his hand pointing towards the destination of Brighton. His companion, wearing a trilby hat and pin-striped trousers, looks on with equal interest, his hand also pointing towards the signpost's next destination, Redhill. The signpost, a symbol of progress and modernization, boasts an array of destinations, including Kingston and Croydon, among others. The men's attire and the presence of a passing motor car in the background serve as reminders of the changing times. The men's hats, the bowler hat representing the traditional and the trilby, a more modern choice, further emphasize the juxtaposition of old and new. The aerial perspective of the photograph offers a unique vantage point, allowing the viewer to appreciate the serene beauty of the countryside and the intricacies of the signpost. This image transports us back to the 1930s, a time when travel was an adventure, and the simple act of consulting a signpost could lead to new discoveries and experiences. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of transportation in Britain, a time when the motor car was becoming increasingly popular, and the signpost was an essential tool for navigating the roads. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen forever, inviting us to reflect on the past and appreciate the progress that has come since.
