EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 1930s, showcasing the remarkable work of Siemens Brothers and Company Limited. This image, featured in "Our Wonderful World". Volume II edited by J. A. Hammerton, captures a momentous event in history. The photograph portrays a cable laying ship amidst vast waters, its deck bustling with men diligently engaged in their tasks. A sense of purpose and determination emanates from their focused expressions as they navigate through this challenging endeavor. The monochrome setting adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing the significance of this technological feat during that era. Sir John Alexander Hammerton's editorial prowess shines through his selection of this powerful image for publication. By including it in his book, he immortalizes not only Siemens Brothers and Company Limited but also pays tribute to human ingenuity in bridging distant lands across oceans. This portrait transports us into a world where transportation was still largely reliant on waterways. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically while honoring those who paved the way for our modern interconnectedness. "The Print Collector" has preserved this piece of history for future generations to appreciate and admire. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of the immense efforts undertaken by these men onboard to connect nations worldwide – truly laying lines that bridge not just physical distances but also cultural divides across seven seas.
