EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to an era of imagination and whimsy. A page from a magazine article about an imaginary Snow-bound London, it transports us to the year 1899 when the Harmsworth Magazine first published this delightful illustration. In this comical depiction, we see the iconic St Paul's Cathedral surrounded by towering snowdrifts, its majestic dome barely visible amidst the wintry landscape. The city streets are covered in a thick blanket of snow, transforming London into a winter wonderland that defies reality. The image is both amusing and entertaining, as it plays with our expectations of mild winters in England. It pokes fun at freezing temperatures and icy conditions that were far from typical during that time period. This clever trick photography captures our attention and sparks our imagination. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we can't help but reflect on how extreme weather conditions have always fascinated humanity. From global cooling fears in 1899 to modern-day concerns about global warming, this image serves as a reminder that climate has long been a topic of discussion. Displayed proudly within someone's private collection, this unique piece offers not only historical value but also brings joy through its humorous portrayal of an imaginary snowy London scene.
