EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1938, capturing the majestic front of St Edmunds Catholic Church in Beckenham, Kent. The image showcases a slice of history from the twentieth century, specifically between the wars. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this architectural gem. The church's impressive tower and intricate windows stand tall against the backdrop of a quiet street. Its steeple reaches towards the heavens, symbolizing faith and spirituality. A vintage car parked nearby hints at life during that era, reminding us of how far we have come since then. A man stands by the entrance door, perhaps contemplating his own connection with religion or simply admiring the grandeur before him. His presence adds a human touch to this otherwise serene scene. Photographed by John Topham, this image is part of Europeana Photography collection and offers a glimpse into an important period in history. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and cultural identity
