EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the scorching summer of 1934 in Kettering, Northamptonshire. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as a lone man stands amidst the arid conditions of a reservoir. With the sun beating down on his figure, he surveys the reservoir's sun-baked bottom with an air of contemplation. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that weather can have on our lives and surroundings. As England faced one of its most severe droughts in history, water levels plummeted and left behind a desolate landscape. The once vibrant reservoir now resembles cracked earth under relentless heat. The image not only reflects historical significance but also raises awareness about climate change and global warming. It reminds us that extreme weather events have been occurring for decades, leaving their mark on our environment. Preserved within this archival piece is evidence of human resilience during challenging times. Despite facing adversity caused by nature's forces, this man stands tall against the backdrop of dried-up land – symbolizing strength and determination even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As we gaze upon this powerful snapshot from These Tremendous Years published in 1938, it prompts us to reflect upon our own relationship with nature and how we must strive to protect it for future generations.
