EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by John Topham in 1939 showcases the beauty of nature amidst the bustling streets of Orpington High Street, Kent. In a time between the wars, when heavy horses were commonly used for various tasks, this image captures a moment where a horse peacefully stands on the central reservation. The horse's presence adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from the twentieth century. Amidst this scene, flowers have been thoughtfully planted along the central reservation, bringing color and vibrancy to an otherwise ordinary street. The juxtaposition of nature against man-made structures creates a striking contrast that is both visually appealing and symbolic. Intriguingly, we see a woman crossing the road with a hand basket in her hand. Perhaps she is on her way home or running errands while admiring these beautiful blooms. This photo not only captures everyday life but also highlights how gardening can bring joy and tranquility even in urban environments. John Topham's monochrome composition beautifully encapsulates an era long gone by - the 1930s - known as thirties glamour. It serves as a reminder that amidst busy city life, moments of serenity can be found if we take notice of our surroundings.
