EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in the 1930s. The iconic Big Ben stands tall and majestic, its clock face obscured by years of grime and neglect. But fear not, for Mr Larkin comes to the rescue! Suspended on ropes like a fearless acrobat, he fearlessly takes on the daunting task of cleaning this magnificent timepiece. The unusual angle from which this photograph is taken adds an element of intrigue and drama. We see Mr Larkin's determined expression as he meticulously scrubs away at the dirt that has accumulated over decades. His commitment to restoring Big Ben's former glory is evident in every stroke. Reg Speller masterfully captures both the grandeur of Big Ben and the bravery of Mr Larkin in this timeless image. The contrast between light and shadow further emphasizes their heroic efforts against time itself. This photograph serves as a reminder that even monumental structures require care and attention to preserve their beauty. It symbolizes our collective responsibility to safeguard our cultural heritage for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but feel a sense of admiration for those who dedicate themselves to preserving history one brushstroke at a time.
