EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the quirky and unusual scene captured by photographer Ian Bradshaw on April Fool's Day in 1972. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us to the heart of London, where coracle fishermen navigate the iconic River Thames near Southwark Bridge. In this snapshot of a bygone era, we witness a delightful blend of tradition and humor as these skilled anglers employ their ancient fishing method amidst the bustling cityscape. The coracles, small round boats made from woven materials such as willow or reed, add an element of charm and intrigue to this already fascinating tableau. London's river has long been a symbol of life and livelihood for its inhabitants, but it is rare to see such an unconventional sight even during that time. The juxtaposition between these traditional vessels and the modern urban backdrop creates a captivating visual contrast that transports us back to an era when life moved at a different pace. Ian Bradshaw's keen eye captures not only the essence of this moment but also invites us into his world through his lens. With each glance at this remarkable photograph, we are reminded that history is filled with unexpected surprises waiting to be discovered – like these coracle fishermen navigating London's waters on that memorable day in April 1972.
