EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1935, we see a group of dedicated men from the RAC Highways Department diligently preparing traffic signs. The significance of their work becomes apparent as we learn that these signs were being created to commemorate King George V's silver jubilee celebrations. The atmosphere is one of focused preparation and anticipation. Each man is engrossed in his task, carefully painting letters onto the signboards with precision and care. Their dedication to detail is evident, ensuring that every letter stands out boldly against the background. This image captures not only the physical labor involved but also the spirit of celebration permeating through England at that time. It serves as a reminder of how important it was for communities to come together and honor their beloved king during such momentous occasions. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history, transporting us back to an era when manual craftsmanship played a vital role in everyday life. These workers represent the backbone of transportation infrastructure – unsung heroes who ensured smooth travel for all. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the tireless efforts made by countless individuals behind-the-scenes to make grand celebrations possible. They may be anonymous faces captured on film, but their contribution remains etched forever in our collective memory.
