EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to the scorching summer of May 1976 in Britain. The image captures a remarkable sight - the River Thames at an unprecedented low tide due to the infamous British Drought. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that nature's power can leave even iconic landmarks like the River Thames vulnerable. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to Liz Sleader, a resilient barmaid at the London Apprentice in Isleworth. Undeterred by the challenging conditions, she fearlessly crosses the exposed riverbed with a tray full of drinks balanced expertly on her hands. Her determination and dedication exemplify how life continues amidst adversity. The photograph itself exudes a sense of desolation and vulnerability as it showcases nature's dominance over human structures. The barren landscape stretches out before us, revealing cracked mud and abandoned boats stranded on dry land. It serves as a stark reminder of how fragile our ecosystems can be when faced with extreme weather events. As we reflect upon this powerful image captured by Ley during his exploration of photography and film in the 1970s, we are reminded not only of past struggles but also of humanity's resilience in overcoming them. This print stands as a testament to both natural forces beyond our control and our ability to adapt and persevere through challenging times.
