EDITORS COMMENTS

In this print titled "You spend eight hours on a traffic point and stagger back to the station. You flop onto a hard metal backed chair and say - 'Guess what came across my traffic point today?'. . . . . . . . . . and no one believes you" we are transported back in time to 1935 in Footscray, Kent. The image captures an intriguing moment where an exhausted traffic officer, having spent his entire day directing vehicles amidst the bustling streets, finally finds solace at the station. As he collapses onto a rigid metal-backed chair, his weary expression tells of countless encounters with impatient drivers and chaotic intersections. But it is his words that pique our curiosity - "Guess what came across my traffic point today?" he exclaims. However, much to his dismay, nobody seems willing to believe him. The context surrounding this photograph adds another layer of intrigue as we learn that elephants were involved in this extraordinary event between the wars. Imagining these majestic creatures crossing roads under the watchful eye of a dedicated officer evokes both awe and disbelief. "Between The Wars" has masterfully captured this snapshot from history through their lens, allowing us to glimpse into a world long gone but not forgotten. This print serves as a reminder of the remarkable stories hidden within seemingly ordinary moments and invites us to reflect on how our own experiences may be met with skepticism or dismissed altogether by others who have not shared them firsthand.
