EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bill Rowntree takes us back to the bustling streets of London in August 1981. As lunchtime descends upon the city, drivers navigate their way through a gloomy atmosphere that seems to engulf the entire urban landscape. The aerial perspective allows us to witness the intricate web of roads and traffic, showcasing the relentless movement and energy of this metropolis. The image perfectly captures the essence of an era marked by its distinct aesthetic – the 1980s. With cars lining up along rain-soaked streets, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when transport was dominated by these classic vehicles. The weather plays a significant role in setting the mood as raindrops create mesmerizing patterns on windshields and pavements alike.

This juxtaposition highlights both our shared experience as well as our individual journeys through life. As we gaze at this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where technology had not yet transformed our cities into digital hubs. Instead, it reminds us of simpler times when people relied on physical maps rather than GPS navigation systems.
