EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by E. Bacon in 1919, we are transported back to the bustling scene at Waterloo Station in London. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as a lady patiently waits for her train amidst a stack of luggage and her loyal canine companion. With an air of elegance, the woman sits on a tree trunk with her walking stick by her side, engrossed in writing a letter. Her military uniform suggests she may have been bidding farewell to loved ones or recounting tales from afar during the post-war period. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the stationary figure against the dynamic backdrop of trains and railway tracks. As steam billows from locomotives, one can almost hear the sounds of whistles blowing and wheels screeching against metal rails. This photo is not only visually striking but also evokes emotions tied to travel and adventure. It transports us back to an era when handwritten letters were cherished means of communication, capturing moments that could be shared across distances. Evident through every detail captured within this frame - from the lady's carefully chosen attire to her meticulously packed trunks - is an undeniable sense of anticipation mingled with nostalgia. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst busy train stations, there are stories waiting to be told and connections waiting to be made.
