EDITORS COMMENTS

In this photograph captured by Bela Zola, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of 1950s London. Little Benny Merrell, a six-year-old boy with an innocent smile on his face, stands proudly clutching some ancient wood bricks from Shirland Road in West London. It is March 5th, 1954. The image tells a story of resilience and resourcefulness amidst challenging times. In an era marked by poverty and hardship, young Benny seizes an opportunity to make ends meet by selling these wooden treasures as firewood.

The juxtaposition between childhood innocence and the harsh realities of life adds depth to this snapshot frozen in time. Bela Zola's lens captures not only the physical surroundings but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia for simpler times.
