EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1938, showcasing a modern police station on Wellhall Road in Eltham, London. The image captures the essence of the early twentieth century, with its monochrome tones and architectural style that emerged between the wars. The building itself stands tall and proud, constructed entirely from brick, representing both strength and security. Through one of its windows, we catch a glimpse of a man inside - perhaps an officer diligently carrying out his duties or engaging in conversation with a colleague. Photographer John Topham skillfully freezes this moment in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of 1930s London. The image evokes nostalgia for an era characterized by elegance and simplicity. As we observe this scene from nearly a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how much our world has evolved since then. Yet amidst all the changes over time, some elements remain constant - like law enforcement's commitment to keeping communities safe. Topham's photograph is not just a historical artifact; it also invites us to reflect on our present-day society and appreciate how far we have come. It reminds us that progress is continuous but should always be rooted in preserving safety and order within our communities.
