EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by John Topham in 1936, we witness a remarkable scene unfolding amidst the floods in Yalding, Kent. Two brave boys can be seen fearlessly paddling through the waterlogged fields, their determination shining through their young eyes. The image transports us back to a different era - the interwar period of the twentieth century. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness that characterized those challenging times. As we observe these schoolboys navigating through nature's obstacles with their trusty wellington boots, we are reminded of the innocence and adventurous spirit of childhood. Despite facing adversity caused by flooding, they find joy in exploring their surroundings. The composition is beautifully framed with a solitary tree standing tall in the background, seemingly unaffected by its submerged roots. This juxtaposition symbolizes hope amidst chaos - a testament to human strength even when faced with overwhelming circumstances. John Topham's skillful capture not only freezes a moment in history but also evokes emotions within us. It serves as an important documentation of life during that era while reminding us that even during difficult times, there is always room for resilience and optimism.
