EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the grandeur of Bentalls, a historic shopping destination. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The renowned architect Maurice Webb designed this magnificent building, which is showcased beautifully in the photograph. The main hall takes center stage, revealing its architectural splendor with intricate details and soaring ceilings. The focal point of this bustling space is undoubtedly the escalators, which were considered cutting-edge technology at that time. They add a touch of modernity to the otherwise classic design. This image was originally featured as an illustration for "The Architecture of Shops" by A Trystan Edwards in 1933. It captures not only the physical structure but also reflects the essence of retail history. Bentalls stands as a testament to how shopping has evolved over time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded that buildings hold stories within their walls. This particular photograph encapsulates both nostalgia and admiration for architecture's ability to shape our experiences while exploring shops and embracing consumer culture throughout history.
