EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the Minister of Transport, Dr Leslie Burgin, embarking on a momentous journey with his wife. The couple is seen boarding an airplane at Croydon aerodrome as they set off to attend the grand opening of Europe's longest bridge - the magnificent Storstroem bridge. With its impressive length of 2 1/4 miles and a staggering cost of £1,250,000, this architectural marvel has attracted attention from all corners of Europe. Dr Burgin was personally invited by the Danish government to partake in this historic event. The image captures the excitement and anticipation in the air as Dr Burgin leads by example with his wife beside him. Their expressions reflect both pride and eagerness for what lies ahead. This snapshot freezes a fleeting moment before their departure on September 25th, 1937. This photograph not only serves as a visual documentation but also encapsulates an era between two world wars when progress and innovation were highly valued. Its monochromatic tones add depth to its historical significance while emphasizing the gravity of this occasion. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this remarkable piece showcases press photography at its finest - capturing significant moments that shape our collective memory.
