EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in June 1952, this print by Charles Hewitt showcases the aftermath of a bustling day on Brighton Pier. The famous landmark stands tall in the background, while a pile of litter left behind by the departed crowds takes center stage. The image, originally unpublished in Picture Post magazine, offers a glimpse into post-war England. The square format and light play create an intriguing contrast between the dark shadows and bright highlights. The litter scattered across the pier serves as a poignant reminder of human presence and activity. Despite its temporary nature, it tells a story of leisurely moments enjoyed by visitors from all walks of life. Hewitt's keen eye captures not only the physical debris but also hints at deeper societal implications. This photograph invites reflection on consumerism, waste management, and our relationship with public spaces. Brighton Pier itself becomes an arching symbol of entertainment and escape for generations past. Located in Sussex, England, it continues to attract tourists from around Europe who seek joy amidst its vibrant atmosphere. Displayed here is an authentic piece of history - one that prompts us to ponder our impact on both natural landscapes and cherished cultural sites like Brighton Pier.
