EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the life of Rodney Keable, a young apprentice from Eltham. After dedicating five years to his apprenticeship with Tee Whiten and J. Mead Ltd. , a printing firm located near Finsbury Square, Rodney underwent an initiation ceremony like no other. In April 1968, at precisely 12:30, Rodney found himself tied to a trolley adorned with printers ink, flour, soot, and paper streamers. With mischievous delight in their eyes, his colleagues paraded him through City Road towards the company's front door. The bustling street scene of London served as the backdrop for this unusual spectacle. As if that weren't enough, Rodney was then securely fastened to a bus stop near the office entrance. Passersby couldn't help but chuckle at this comical sight while iconic red Routemaster buses whizzed by in the background. To add an unexpected twist to this already memorable event, fire extinguishers were unleashed upon Rodney's unsuspecting figure. Laughter filled the air as he was drenched from head to toe. This photograph not only immortalizes an age-old tradition of initiations within trades but also offers us a glimpse into London's vibrant transport system during the swinging sixties. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serious work commitments and professional milestones, humor can find its way into our lives unexpectedly – leaving lasting memories etched in our hearts forever.
