EDITORS COMMENTS
Just like old times: a print captures the unexpected sight of a flock of sheep amidst the bustling traffic on the iconic Strand in London. This image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases a unique juxtaposition between urban life and rural traditions. The photograph is believed to be an illustration for 'Wonderful London' by St John Adcock, published around 1930. The gravure-printed image beautifully depicts the historic scene where sheepherding meets cityscape. As buses pass by and pedestrians navigate their way through busy streets, this flock of sheep stands as a reminder of England's rich agricultural heritage. St Mary le Strand Church can be seen in the background, adding to the charm and historical significance of this snapshot. The architecture serves as a testament to Britain's past while blending harmoniously with modernity. This intriguing photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon themes such as tradition, transportation, and coexistence. It offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century London when shepherds still roamed alongside cars and buses. With its timeless appeal and artistic composition, this black-and-white print transports viewers back to an era where nature found its place within bustling cityscapes. A true gem from Bridgeman Images' collection that celebrates both British history and photography.
