EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by John Topham in 1938, we are transported back to a bustling train station platform between the wars. The image captures the attention of onlookers as they gather around Mr E A Burgar, a railway porter turned sign writer. Dressed in his uniform, he stands proudly with a pencil in hand, ready to create an eye-catching advertisement for the Southern Railway. The scene exudes an air of anticipation and curiosity as people eagerly watch Mr Burgar's skilled hands at work. With meticulous precision, he draws intricate designs and writes captivating text on a large poster board. His talent is evident as each stroke brings life to the promotional message. Amidst the crowd stands a woman draped elegantly in a fur shawl, her eyes fixed intently on Mr Burgar's creation. Her presence adds an element of sophistication and glamour to the otherwise ordinary setting. This snapshot from the past not only showcases Mr Burgar's artistic abilities but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during this era. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when railway stations were vibrant hubs of activity and craftsmanship was celebrated. John Topham's masterful composition immortalizes this moment forever, allowing us to appreciate both the skill of Mr E A Burgar and the nostalgia that comes with looking back at early twentieth-century Europeana photography.
