EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - thirteen months after the devastating fire that destroyed the iconic Crystal Palace. The image showcases the tireless efforts of dedicated workmen who are still hard at work, clearing away the remnants of this once majestic structure. The scene captures a poignant sight as these determined individuals meticulously break up and remove tonnes of steel and brickwork from the site. Their commitment is evident as they laboriously demolish what remains of the old Crystal Palace, symbolizing both resilience and progress. Taken on 15th December 1937, this monochrome photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Europe's past between two world wars. It encapsulates an era marked by turmoil but also highlights humanity's ability to rebuild even in times of adversity. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this image holds immense historical value. Its inclusion in Planet News speaks volumes about its significance within press photography during that time period. While it is important not to mention commercial use, we can appreciate how such photographs provide us with glimpses into our collective past and help us understand how far we have come since then.
