EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by John Topham in 1933, we are transported back to a time between the wars when police officers relied on horses as their trusted companions. The image captures a moment of utmost diligence as an officer, identified as P. C. Dent, inspects his horse's mouth with unwavering attention. The composition is strikingly intimate, drawing our gaze directly towards the subject at hand - the open mouth of the majestic creature. The details are impeccably captured; every crease and contour of the horse's lips can be discerned under careful scrutiny. It is evident that P. C. Dent takes his duty seriously, ensuring that his equine partner remains in optimal health for their shared patrols through bustling city streets. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when horses were an integral part of law enforcement. It encapsulates not only the symbiotic relationship between man and beast but also highlights the dedication and meticulousness required in maintaining such partnerships. John Topham's masterful photography transports us into history, allowing us to witness moments often forgotten or overlooked amidst larger narratives. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at its ability to evoke nostalgia while simultaneously reminding us of how far policing has evolved since those days "between the wars.
