EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1939, capturing a moment in time at the Creek bridge in Deptford, Kent. The image showcases a bustling scene from between the wars, showcasing life in Europe during the early twentieth century. In this snapshot of history, we see a rotating bridge that serves as a vital connection for both pedestrians and vehicles alike. A tram track runs alongside it, with a double-decker tram making its way across. The bridge is adorned with cars and automobiles of the era, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of daily life during this period. People can be seen crowding around on foot or waiting patiently inside their vehicles for their turn to cross over. Amongst them stands an individual dressed in uniform, perhaps overseeing traffic flow or ensuring safety measures are followed. John Topham's monochrome masterpiece not only freezes a specific moment but also offers us glimpses into transportation systems and architectural marvels of that time. It transports us back to an era when drawbridges were still prevalent and trams played an essential role in public transport. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Europeana photography, we are reminded of how much has changed since then while appreciating how certain elements have stood the test of time.
