EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1950, capturing a moment in time when Southern Region commuters faced the morning rush-hour with solemn expressions. The image reflects a lack of anticipation for holidays in popular destinations like the West Country or Filey, as these glum-looking individuals embarked on their daily grind. The scene is set at a train station, where passengers anxiously wait for their ride amidst the hustle and bustle of the morning business rush. From the unique perspective of the drivers' cabs, we are given an intimate glimpse into this historical era of English Railways. As steam billows from engines in the background, one cannot help but feel transported to a different time and place. The atmosphere is heavy with determination mixed with resignation - a reflection that even after six decades, little has changed when it comes to facing our daily responsibilities. Bernard Alfieri's expert composition captures not only the physical setting but also manages to convey deeper emotions within each individual's face. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements and societal progressions over time, human experiences such as commuting remain remarkably consistent throughout history. With its timeless quality and powerful narrative, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our own journeys through life's challenges while appreciating how far we have come since those somber mornings in 1950s England.
