EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the Hurst Park Racecourse in Molesey, Surrey on 29 April 1939. In this image, men can be seen diligently carrying totalisators from a Bedford truck to their designated location. The monochrome tones give the scene an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to the twentieth century between the wars. The men's determined expressions and strong postures reflect their dedication to their task. They navigate through the race track with precision, unloading these essential pieces of equipment that were crucial for horseracing events during that era. John Topham's skillful photography allows us to witness this behind-the-scenes moment as if we were there ourselves. The composition draws our attention towards both the hardworking individuals and the iconic Bedford truck they rely on for transportation. This snapshot not only showcases a specific event but also provides insight into European history during this period. It reminds us of how technology has evolved over time while emphasizing the significance of storage and organization within industries like horseracing. As we admire this remarkable piece of Europeana photography, let it serve as a reminder of our shared past and appreciation for those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to make such events possible.
