EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pollution in the River Thames, London" depicts a grim reality of early 20th century England. The colour litho image, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases the devastating effects of pollution on one of London's most iconic landmarks. The River Thames, once known for its pristine beauty and vibrant ecosystem, is now portrayed as a murky and polluted waterway. The postcard serves as a powerful reminder of the environmental challenges faced during that era. It highlights the detrimental impact of industrialization and human activities on our natural surroundings. In this thought-provoking composition, we witness rubbish floating in the river alongside dead animals. Smoke billows from chimneys in the background while refuse collectors struggle to manage waste disposal. This visual narrative not only exposes the hazards posed by pollution but also elicits emotions through its humorous undertones. Through this historic photograph, we are transported back to an era where society was grappling with issues such as waste management and environmental degradation. It serves as a stark reminder that our actions have consequences for both nature and ourselves. As we reflect upon this image today, it prompts us to consider how far we have come in terms of environmental awareness and conservation efforts. It urges us to continue striving towards cleaner rivers and healthier ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
