EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of London in the 1950s. The image showcases Southwark Cathedral on a sunny day, with its grand architecture standing tall against the clear blue sky. However, it is not just the cathedral that steals our attention; it is the figure of a dedicated verger caught in action. In this snapshot from June 2nd, 1955, we witness an intimate moment as the verger diligently posts up the service sheet for the month. His focused expression and precise movements reflect his commitment to ensuring everything is in order for worshippers who will soon flock to this sacred place. The photograph encapsulates a sense of tradition and spirituality that has endured through generations. It transports us to a time when religion played an integral role in people's lives, offering solace and guidance amidst bustling city life. Bela Zola's expert composition captures both architectural beauty and human devotion within one frame. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only Southwark Cathedral but also pays homage to those unsung heroes like this verger who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of how photographs can transcend time by preserving moments that would otherwise be lost forever. Bela Zola's photograph serves as a window into London's past while honoring individuals whose contributions often go unnoticed but are essential pillars within their communities.
