At the back of Oxford Street is a busy school, and at around 5 o clock, when the children leave, many have to cross the frightful traffic of Oxford Street, London. The policeman on the spot sees the children across the road in person. 1st June 1954

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the back of Oxford Street" takes us back to a bustling school in London during the 1950s. As the clock strikes 5 o'clock, signaling the end of another day of education, a scene unfolds that is both heartwarming and nerve-wracking. The children pour out onto the streets, only to be confronted by the frightful traffic of Oxford Street. In this moment, we witness an unsung hero - a diligent police officer stationed at this chaotic junction. With authority and care, he takes it upon himself to ensure these young souls safely cross this treacherous road. His presence brings a sense of relief amidst the chaos as he personally escorts each child across. The image encapsulates not just a snapshot in time but also speaks volumes about life in inner boroughs during that era. It reflects on how even mundane activities like crossing a street required assistance due to heavy traffic flow. The series aptly named "Life in the Mirror" captures such everyday moments that often go unnoticed or forgotten. Bela Zola's photograph serves as a reminder of how our society has evolved over time with improved transport systems and safety measures for children. It invites us to reflect on progress while cherishing memories from an era where simple acts of kindness were captured through lens and preserved for generations to come.
