EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John Topham transports us back to the bustling streets of Petts Wood, Kent in 1936. In this snapshot frozen in time, a fleet of Vauxhall cars are elegantly lined up in front of the charming Daylight Inn. The monochrome palette adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, evoking memories of a bygone era. The image captures the essence of Europe between the wars, showcasing an array of classic automobiles that were prevalent during this period. The street lamps illuminate the surroundings with their soft glow, casting long shadows on the pavement as dusk settles over the town. Beyond the parked vehicles lies a row of quaint shop fronts, each displaying their wares and enticing passersby with their colorful displays. The architecture exudes character and charm, reflecting an era when attention was paid to even minute details. The Daylight Inn stands proudly amidst this picturesque setting - its exterior exuding warmth and hospitality. This public house served as a hub for locals and travelers alike, offering respite from their journeys or simply providing a place for social gatherings. John Topham's skillful composition allows us to step into this moment in history; it invites us to imagine ourselves strolling along these streets filled with life and activity. As we admire this remarkable photograph print today, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both beauty and nostalgia within its frame.
