EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a moment frozen in time - the Daily Mirror editorial floor during a power cut on December 9th, 1970. The image showcases the bustling chaos that ensues when darkness engulfs an industry heavily reliant on electricity. In this snapshot of history, we witness a group of determined journalists huddled together amidst dimly lit desks, their faces illuminated by candlelight. The atmosphere is palpable with tension and urgency as they navigate through the crisis at hand. Despite the lack of modern conveniences, these dedicated men continue to work tirelessly to bring news to the masses. The scene captures not only the resilience of those working in journalism but also serves as a reminder of how industries can be brought to their knees by unforeseen circumstances. It symbolizes an era where power cuts were more common occurrences and highlights the challenges faced by professionals who relied on electricity for their daily operations. Charlie Ley's expert composition transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the struggles and triumphs experienced within newspaper offices during this period.
