EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Topham, we are transported back to the 10th of May, 1937. The image showcases a heartwarming scene at Sidcup Hill School in Kent, where school children eagerly wave their boxes containing coronation mugs. These mugs were received as a token of celebration for the coronation of King George VI. The innocence and joy radiating from the faces of these young students is palpable. Standing in front of their school building, they proudly pose with their treasured possessions while peering through the windows. Their patriotism shines through as they honor their beloved king amidst an era marked by political unrest and uncertainty between two world wars. This monochrome photograph beautifully captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of history that evokes nostalgia for simpler times. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging periods, such as those experienced in Europe during the twentieth century, moments of celebration can unite communities and bring hope to future generations. John Topham's skillful composition not only documents an important event but also immortalizes the spirit and resilience embodied by these school children. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a testament to the enduring power of unity and national pride within our society.
