EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the grand opening of Erith Hospital in 1935. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, this image transports us back to the twentieth century, between the wars era. The monochrome tones evoke a sense of nostalgia and add depth to the scene. The photograph showcases an elaborate ceremony taking place on a stage, with a vicar leading proceedings. A large crowd has gathered around, eagerly awaiting speeches from various men and women who stand as representatives for this momentous occasion. One man can be seen confidently addressing the audience through a microphone, his words resonating with those present. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as everyone comes together to celebrate the opening of this vital institution that would serve their community's healthcare needs. It is evident that this event was not only important but also deeply cherished by all involved. Topham's skillful composition allows us to feel like we are part of this historical milestone, witnessing firsthand the pride and joy radiating from each individual captured within the frame. This photograph serves as both a visual record of an important moment in time and a testament to Topham's ability to capture human emotions through his lens.
