EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bexley Charter celebrations in 1937, marking its incorporation as a borough. The image showcases an awe-inspiring display of charter fireworks illuminating the night sky. As darkness descends, the vibrant bursts of colors create a mesmerizing spectacle that leaves onlookers spellbound. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, this snapshot from the twentieth century transports us back to a time between the wars when communities celebrated their milestones with great fervor. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing both the historical significance and artistic value of this photograph. Intriguingly, amidst all these grand festivities, one can't help but notice a lone face captured in contemplation. This enigmatic figure symbolizes not only individual reflection but also represents every person who witnessed this momentous occasion. It serves as a reminder that even amid collective jubilation, there are moments for personal introspection. The image is reminiscent of Europeana photography from that era - capturing significant events and preserving them for posterity. Its sheer beauty and evocative nature make it an invaluable piece of artistry that transcends time
