EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Signalisation" from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the 1930s, showcasing an intriguing array of navigational and transport signals. The image is a vibrant tapestry of visual communication, designed to ensure safe and efficient movement of people and goods. In the foreground, a red and white striped nautical buoy stands proudly in the water, its purpose to signal the presence of submerged hazards to mariners. Nearby, a lighthouse beacon casts its guiding light, its rotating beams a familiar sight to sailors navigating treacherous waters. Moving inland, the focus shifts to road and rail transport. A windsock, billowing in the breeze, signals the direction of the prevailing wind for aviators taking off or landing at an airfield. Road signs, with their bold, easily recognizable symbols, direct motorists to their destinations. Train signals, with their intricate patterns of lights and flags, warn of approaching trains and regulate the flow of traffic on the rails. The photograph also features a girouette, a type of navigational instrument used to determine the direction of the wind. With its elegant design and precise mechanism, it stands as a testament to the ingenuity of the engineers and innovators of the time. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of signalling and communication in the transportation sector. It is a reminder of the critical role that visual cues play in ensuring the safety and efficiency of our travel systems, both on land and at sea.
