EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the aftermath of an air raid during World War II. King George VI stands tall amidst the rubble-strewn streets of Bristol on 17 December 1940, his presence providing solace and hope to a city ravaged by destruction. As he greets the resilient crowds that have gathered to catch a glimpse of their beloved monarch, one cannot help but be struck by the juxtaposition between the devastation caused by enemy bombs and the unwavering spirit displayed by both King George VI and his subjects. Despite witnessing firsthand the horrors inflicted upon Bristol, there is an undeniable sense of unity as flags flutter proudly in defiance against adversity. The forties ambiance emanates from every corner of this image; it encapsulates not only a time when war dominated daily life but also showcases how communities rallied together in times of crisis. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amid chaos and despair, humanity's indomitable spirit can prevail. It is important to note that this print should not be used for commercial purposes. Instead, let us appreciate its historical significance - a testament to resilience and leadership during one of Britain's darkest hours.
