This print titled "White lines for the narrow Hastings Road. 1937" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing a moment in time between the wars. The monochrome image showcases the meticulous work of line painting on a European street, highlighting the importance of road safety. In this snapshot from the 1930s, we see men diligently working to mark the narrow Hastings Road with crisp white lines. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to ensuring safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians alike. The scene exudes an air of nostalgia as it transports us back to an era when road markings were still relatively new but rapidly gaining recognition as essential elements for traffic control. Photographer John Topham skillfully captures both the practicality and aesthetic appeal of these line markings against a backdrop that symbolizes progress and modernization.
