EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alisdair Macdonald, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in November 1976. The image captures a significant moment in history as it showcases the end of a severe drought that had plagued the city for months. As rain pours down relentlessly from above, London travellers find themselves caught off guard and drenched by nature's sudden outpouring. The scene is filled with an array of characters - commuters rushing to catch their buses, queues forming outside shops and offices, and umbrellas popping open like colorful mushrooms amidst the chaos. It is a snapshot of everyday life during rush hour in the 1970s, but with an added twist brought on by Mother Nature herself. This photograph not only documents a specific event but also encapsulates the resilience and adaptability of Londoners. Despite being soaked to their bones, they continue on with determination etched across their faces. The rain serves as a symbol of relief and renewal after enduring such arid conditions for so long. Alisdair Macdonald's skillful composition allows us to feel as if we were there ourselves; immersed in the wetness of that historic day. This print serves as both a reminder of our vulnerability to nature's whims and our ability to persevere through adversity – traits that have come to define not just Londoners but humanity at large.
