EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from 1930s London, where the city's air pollution hangs heavily in the misty streets of Highgate. The buildings loom in the background, shrouded in a haze that speaks to the environmental challenges faced by urban centers during this time.
Amidst the foggy backdrop, a row of buses can be seen making their way down the road, transporting passengers through the polluted air. Signs for well-known brands like Guinness and Macleans toothpaste adorn the buildings, serving as reminders of everyday life amidst less-than-ideal conditions.
In a moment of levity, organist Reginald Foort is captured smiling broadly at the camera, showcasing his pearly whites despite the grim surroundings. His smile serves as a stark contrast to the murky atmosphere surrounding him, offering a glimpse of hope and positivity in an otherwise bleak setting.
This print is not just a snapshot of London's past; it is also a reminder of our responsibility to address issues of air pollution and environmental degradation. As we look back on this historical moment, may it serve as motivation to strive for cleaner and healthier cities for future generations.
