EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Temporary Bridge, c1925 (1935)" takes us back to a time when concerns over the safety of Waterloo Bridge were prevalent. In response to these fears, a temporary bridge was erected in 1925 and opened for traffic. The image captures the essence of bustling London life in the early 20th century. Set against the picturesque backdrop of River Thames, this sepia-toned photograph showcases an array of elements that define an era long gone. Horses effortlessly pull carts laden with baskets, symbolizing the reliance on animal-powered transportation during that period. It is a scene filled with movement and activity as people go about their daily routines. The composition cleverly incorporates metaphorical undertones by depicting an overloaded cart overtaking another vehicle on the bridge. This juxtaposition subtly hints at both progress and riskiness associated with road transport during those times. "The Temporary Bridge" print not only serves as a historical document but also evokes emotions through its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail. Published by Associated Newspapers Ltd. , London in 1935 as part of His Majesty The King's reign from 1910-1935, it offers us a glimpse into an era where literature thrived alongside advancements in transportation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to a different time - one where horse-drawn carriages ruled the streets and bridges were built temporarily to ensure public safety. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity
