EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the fight for peace. Taken during a CND demonstration in Horley, Surrey around 1968, it showcases protesters from the Highgate branch of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament marching together with determination and conviction. The CND was established in 1958 as a response to Britain's agreement to host American atomic weapons on its soil. This powerful movement attracted influential figures such as Bertrand Russell, Michael Foot, JB Priestley, and Canon John Collins among its founding members. However, it wasn't until the controversy surrounding the stationing of cruise missiles at Greenham Common in the 1980s that CND reached its peak popularity with nearly 100,000 members. In this image, we witness men and boys proudly carrying banners adorned with symbols of peace while peacefully protesting against nuclear armament. The monochrome setting adds depth and intensity to their cause—a visual reminder of their unwavering commitment to disarmament. This photograph by Tony Boxall serves as an important historical document capturing both a specific moment in time and the broader struggle for global peace. It symbolizes unity amidst adversity and reminds us of our collective responsibility to work towards a world free from nuclear weapons.
