EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the floods of 1936 in Beltring, Kent. In this image, two young boys fearlessly wade through the rising waters, their wellington boots splashing with each step. The heavy rain pours down relentlessly as they navigate their way through the flooded streets. Despite the challenging circumstances, these resilient children find joy amidst adversity. One boy piggybacks on his friend's back, their laughter echoing through the gloomy atmosphere. Their smiles are infectious, reminding us that even in times of hardship, there is always room for fun and camaraderie. The composition of this photograph beautifully contrasts the towering pylon in the background with the innocence and playfulness of childhood. It serves as a poignant reminder of how nature can disrupt our lives but also highlights our ability to adapt and find happiness within it. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, this monochrome masterpiece from between-the-wars era transports us back to a different time while showcasing Europeana photography at its finest. It encapsulates not only a historical event but also evokes emotions that transcend generations - resilience, friendship, and finding joy amidst chaos.
