EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in London's architectural history. The image showcases the demolition of old premises to make way for the iconic Selfridges building on Oxford Street. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this photograph is now part of a private collection. The picture reveals the remarkable transformation that took place as construction workers cleared away the old structures to pave the path for modernity. It serves as a testament to progress and innovation in architecture during that era. The composition exudes a sense of anticipation and excitement, with debris scattered around and construction equipment visible in the background. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to witness firsthand how public buildings like Selfridges came into existence. Originally featured as an illustration for The Modern Building Record Volume One Public Buildings by Charles Jones in 1910, this image holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It symbolizes London's ever-evolving landscape while paying homage to its rich architectural heritage. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, we are reminded of both our past and future. It prompts us to appreciate not only the beauty found within these walls but also the stories they hold within their foundations – stories of growth, change, and resilience that continue to shape our urban landscapes today.
