EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the English rural life of the 1930s, between the wars. The scene unfolds on Green Street Green in Dartford, Kent, where a group of men are engaged in an unusual activity - dumping apples. With their sleeves rolled up and determined expressions on their faces, they seem to be involved in some sort of scrumping adventure. Amidst this lively commotion stands a man holding a baby pram, perhaps enjoying the spectacle or waiting for his turn to join in. The image captures a moment frozen in time; it is as if we can almost hear the laughter and banter exchanged among these men as they carry out their mischievous act. The monochrome effect adds depth and nostalgia to this photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when communities found joy even in mundane activities like apple dumping. John Topham's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the subject matter but also the artistic value inherent within this snapshot from European photography history. This piece offers a glimpse into everyday life during an era marked by social change and economic uncertainty. As we gaze upon this intriguing photo print, we are transported back to that charming period between the wars - an era defined by resilience, camaraderie, and simple pleasures amidst challenging circumstances.
