EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the diligent efforts of citizens preparing for uncertain times. In Hextable, 1938, amidst the turbulent years between the wars, this image showcases the construction of outer foundations for an air raid shelter in a garden. The monochrome tones add a sense of gravity and seriousness to the scene, emphasizing the importance of safety during this era. Bricks neatly arranged by dedicated individuals symbolize their determination to protect their homes and loved ones from potential harm caused by air raids. As Europe stood on the brink of conflict, civil defense became paramount. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that ordinary people played an active role in safeguarding their communities against impending danger. The stoic expression on each worker's face reflects their commitment to duty and resilience in challenging times. John Topham skillfully captures not only physical construction but also emotions tied to domestic preparation for war. It is through images like these that we gain insight into how societies rallied together during moments of crisis. This poignant snapshot stands as a testament to human strength and unity when faced with adversity—a timeless reminder that even amidst chaos, hope can be found within our own backyard shelters.
