The photograph was taken in May 1944 in London, a few weeks before the Allied landing in Normandy. During this phase, Jack Lieb documented not only military preparations but also everyday scenes of civilian life in England. Such snapshots convey the contrast between the impending major offensive and the normal life of the civilian population. As color footage, the image is a rare source for understanding life in wartime London.
