EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bela Zola, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in the 1940s. Standing proudly on the Embankment, a group of London sewermen can be seen gathered around the impressive bust of Joseph Bazalgette. This iconic image pays homage to the man who revolutionized sanitation in the city. Joseph Bazalgette, an esteemed engineer, is widely regarded as the mastermind behind London's sewer system. His visionary designs transformed a once unsanitary and disease-ridden capital into a modern metropolis with efficient waste management. As we gaze at this photograph, it becomes evident that these men share a deep admiration for their industry pioneer. The camaraderie among these sewermen is palpable; their rugged appearance and determined expressions speak volumes about their dedication to keeping London clean and safe. They stand shoulder-to-shoulder beside Bazalgette's likeness, embodying his legacy through their tireless work underground. April 1st, 1947 marks an important date captured within this snapshot – a testament to both historical significance and personal pride for those depicted. Bela Zola skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an era defined by progress and innovation. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder that heroes come in many forms; sometimes they wear overalls instead of capes. It immortalizes these unsung heroes whose efforts continue to shape our cities today - reminding
