EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to September 1940, during the Second World War. It depicts an East End family bidding farewell to their beloved city, as they load their belongings onto a horse-drawn cart. The image beautifully captures the resilience and determination of this family amidst the chaos of war. The expressions on their faces tell a story of mixed emotions - sadness for leaving behind familiar streets and loved ones, but also hope for a safer future elsewhere. The man in the photograph stands tall, his cigarette dangling from his lips, exuding strength and resolve. The horse patiently waits as it becomes part of this poignant scene. Its presence symbolizes both practicality and nostalgia; relying on traditional means of transport while acknowledging that times are changing rapidly. Despite the hardships they face, there is an undeniable sense of happiness radiating from this family. They cling tightly to one another, finding solace in each other's company during uncertain times. This snapshot not only offers us a glimpse into life during World War II but also serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to persevere even in the most challenging circumstances. It is a testament to the power of love and unity within families when faced with adversity.
