EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in black and white, this remarkable print transports us back to the bustling streets of London on the 21st of July, 1926. Standing proudly at the corner of Piccadilly and Old Street, a new set of traffic signals takes center stage in this historic image. The photograph showcases a landscape dominated by male figures, representing various roles and occupations related to transportation and infrastructure. Among them are members of the police force, diligently ensuring road safety for all citizens. Their hand signs indicate an organized system that keeps the city flowing smoothly. This snapshot offers a glimpse into early 20th-century Europe, where transport infrastructure was rapidly evolving. The box-like structure housing these innovative traffic signals serves as a symbol of progress amidst an ever-changing urban landscape. As we delve deeper into this archival gem, it becomes evident that this moment captures not only the physical aspects but also highlights human roles within society. From finance professionals navigating their way through busy streets to everyday commuters relying on these signals for safe passage - each individual contributes to the vibrant tapestry that is city life. With its timeless charm and historical significance, this print by Kirby invites us to reflect upon how far we have come while appreciating the foundations laid down by those who came before us.
