EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a winter's night in 1933, where spectators gather at Keston to witness the enchanting spectacle of ice skating. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of car lights, casting an ethereal ambiance over the frozen rink. As darkness envelops the surroundings, these brave souls huddle together on the sidelines, their breath visible in the cold air. The image captures a moment frozen in time between two world wars, offering a glimpse into Europe's history during this tumultuous period. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst uncertainty and strife, people sought solace and joy through simple pleasures like ice skating. Photographer John Topham masterfully captures both the beauty of motion on ice and the atmosphere surrounding it. His monochrome composition adds depth and texture to every detail - from skaters gracefully gliding across the icy surface to bundled-up spectators eagerly observing their every move. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph today, we are transported back to that winter evening over eight decades ago. We can almost feel our own anticipation building as we join those spectators under starlit skies, sharing in their awe-inspiring experience. This timeless image reminds us of our shared humanity and how moments of unity and wonder can transcend time itself.
