EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Waiting to set off" we are transported back in time to the interwar period, where railways were a primary mode of transportation. The image captures a tender moment between a mother and her son as they anxiously await their departure. The mother's grip on her son is firm yet filled with love, symbolizing both protection and reluctance to let go. As the young boy leans out of the carriage window, his eyes fixated on something beyond our view, we can sense his excitement for what lies ahead. Perhaps it is the anticipation of embarking on an adventure or visiting loved ones in distant lands. His innocent curiosity reflects the spirit of travel during that era when railways opened up new possibilities for exploration and connection. The composition by Charles E Brown beautifully encapsulates not only the emotions shared between mother and child but also highlights the significance of railways as a lifeline for people's mobility and aspirations. It serves as a poignant reminder of how transport has always played an essential role in shaping societies. This remarkable photograph from the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum transports us back in time, allowing us to reflect upon our own journeys while appreciating those who have paved the way before us.
