EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the chaos and devastation of London's darkest hour, this powerful print takes us back to September 15th, 1940. In the midst of a fierce battle in broad daylight, a Dornier bomber plummets towards the earth, its tail shot away and engulfed in flames. The haunting image serves as a stark reminder of the relentless air raids that plagued the city during World War II. The wreckage came crashing down near Victoria Station, leaving behind a trail of destruction and terror. As sirens wailed and people sought shelter from above-ground attacks, this fallen German aircraft symbolized both defiance and resilience on the home front. Photographer George Greenwell skillfully captured this moment frozen in time - an emblematic scene from one of history's most devastating conflicts. With every detail meticulously preserved, we are transported back to an era defined by dogfights and bombings. This print not only commemorates those who fought valiantly for their country but also pays homage to all those affected by war. It stands as a testament to human strength amidst unimaginable adversity. As we gaze upon this relic from our past, let it serve as a poignant reminder that even in times of darkness, hope can still be found.
