EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the past. Taken in 1906 by an English photographer, it showcases Kingsway, looking north from Aldwych. The image is part of a private collection and offers a unique perspective on the architectural development of London during that time. In addition to the cityscape, this photograph also highlights another significant event: the reinstatement of the lake in St James's Park. This restoration project adds depth and interest to the composition, showcasing both old and new elements within London's landscape. The image was originally featured as an illustration for Harold Clunn's book "London Rebuilt 1897-1927" which explores the transformation of the city during this period. It serves as a historical document capturing not only physical changes but also reflecting societal shifts. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to witness London's evolution firsthand. The juxtaposition between old and new buildings creates a sense of awe at how quickly architecture can change over just a few decades. Overall, this print provides us with an invaluable window into history – reminding us of London's rich heritage while inspiring contemplation about progress and development in urban environments.
