EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic scene from the 1930s, between the wars. In this monochrome masterpiece by John Topham, we see children joyfully paddling in a flooded ford at Eynsford, Kent. The iconic St Martins church stands proudly in the background, its spire reaching towards the heavens. The image transports us back to a simpler time when horse-drawn carts were still a common sight on European roads. A group of elderly workmen can be seen nearby, their weathered faces reflecting years of hard labor. But it is the children who steal the show with their carefree antics amidst nature's unexpected gift - water flooding over what was once a dry path. Boys and girls alike revel in this watery playground as they wade through knee-deep floods. Their laughter echoes across the scene, creating an atmosphere of pure childhood bliss. Even though cars pass by cautiously on a nearby bridge, it is these young adventurers who truly command our attention. Topham's skillful composition not only captures an idyllic moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of resilience during challenging times. Despite economic hardships and political uncertainties that plagued Europe during this era, these children find solace and happiness amidst nature's whimsical intervention. This photograph evokes feelings of nostalgia while reminding us that even in times of hardship, there is always room for playfulness and joy – especially when shared with friends against such picturesque backdrops like St Martins
