EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Bow in London on a crisp March day in 1955. The image captures the hardworking coal merchant, Charles Franklin, as he takes a well-deserved break during his delivery round. His trusty horses stand patiently by his side while he quenches their thirst from a nearby water trough. The scene is filled with nostalgia and offers us a glimpse into the industrial landscape of mid-20th century England. Towering sacks of coal rest upon Franklin's sturdy cart, symbolizing the reliance on fossil fuels that powered this era's industries and homes. The street is alive with activity, showcasing the inner boroughs' vibrant atmosphere. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates an important chapter in British history when horse-drawn carts were still prevalent means of transportation for goods like coal. It reminds us of a time when hard work and dedication were essential for survival. Bela Zola skillfully captures this moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by those who worked tirelessly to keep our cities running smoothly. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come while honoring the legacy left behind by individuals like Charles Franklin and their noble steeds.
