In this print titled "The Guardian Angel Controlling traffic in the heart of the fogbound London" we are transported back to a misty day on November 28,1921. The image captures an elevated line that crosses Ludgate Circus, one of London's bustling intersections. As thick fog engulfs the city, making visibility nearly impossible, a guardian angel emerges from the darkness. Standing tall amidst the smoggy atmosphere, this figure takes charge of controlling traffic with unwavering determination. With arms outstretched and illuminated by a brazier's firelight, their presence brings much-needed guidance to both pedestrians and vehicles navigating through this hazardous environment. This monochrome photograph not only serves as a visual reminder of Europeana photography from the early 20th century but also highlights an era when rail road safety was paramount. It showcases how even during challenging times like heavy fog or limited visibility, dedicated individuals stepped up to ensure public welfare. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured by Central News photographers, we can't help but feel grateful for those who have tirelessly worked behind-the-scenes to keep our cities safe throughout history. This evocative image is a testament to their commitment and reminds us that even in moments of darkness, there will always be guiding lights illuminating our path forward.
