EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Southampton in 1937, where customs officers diligently examine motor cars at the bustling docks. The image, featured in the esteemed book "Shipping Wonders of the World" edited by Clarence Winchester, showcases an important aspect of Britain's shipping industry during this era. The scene depicts a group of men and women engaged in their profession with utmost concentration. Clad in their official uniforms, these customs officers meticulously inspect each vehicle that arrives at Southampton dock. Their expertise ensures that all goods comply with regulations and duties are paid accordingly. Amidst the flurry of activity, a vintage car stands out as a symbol of road transport intertwining with water transport. This juxtaposition highlights the significance of Southampton as a vital hub for both industries. The photograph not only captures the essence of this historical moment but also offers glimpses into daily life during this period. It portrays individuals from various walks of life coming together to contribute to Britain's thriving economy. As we admire this monochrome portrait frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the dedication and professionalism exhibited by these customs officers who played an integral role in maintaining order within Southampton's busy port.
