EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a time when imagination knew no bounds. A page from a magazine article about an imaginary Snow-bound London, this piece of history transports us to the year 1899. The English School artist skillfully depicts a city engulfed in freezing ice and cold, with humor and amusement at its core. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to Parliament Square, where the iconic Houses of Parliament and Big Ben stand tall amidst an extreme blizzard. The photographer's trickery brings forth a sense of wonder as we marvel at these extreme weather conditions that were merely figments of someone's creative mind. The contrast between mild winters experienced during that era and this fictional snowstorm adds an element of surprise. It also serves as a reminder that even then, people were aware of global climate changes such as cooling or warming. This historical snapshot not only entertains but also sparks curiosity about how society perceived weather phenomena over a century ago. It invites us to reflect on how our understanding has evolved since then. Preserved in private collection, this remarkable artwork by Bridgeman Images captures the essence of imagination intertwined with historical context. As we admire this humorous portrayal of an imaginary Snow-bound London, let it serve as a reminder that art has the power to transport us through time and evoke emotions beyond what meets the eye.
