EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the share distribution of the new Tabernacle Society. Taken on 19th December 1931, it showcases an era of financial responsibility and trust. The image depicts Mr Percy Rockliffe, the society's secretary, carefully overseeing the departure of money from the bank. Holding a revolver by his side, he symbolizes both protection and authority. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from the twentieth century. The contrast between light and shadow enhances its dramatic effect, drawing attention to every detail captured by Alfieri's lens. Intriguingly, police officers can be seen nearby as they ensure the safe passage of these valuable funds. Their presence highlights not only the importance placed on security during this period but also reflects societal concerns about potential threats to wealth. This photograph offers us a glimpse into life in Europe during the 1930s - an era marked by economic uncertainty following World War I. It serves as a reminder of how societies sought stability through organized institutions like tabernacles. Alfieri's composition skillfully captures this historic moment while leaving room for interpretation and reflection on themes such as trust, power dynamics, and social order.
