EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the narrow streets of the City of London in 1939. The image, a colour lithograph by English School, offers a glimpse into the town planning survey conducted during that time. These streets, measuring less than 30 feet wide, showcase the intricate and tightly packed urban landscape of London. The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in the report titled "Improvements and Town Planning Committee, Preliminary Draft Proposals for Post-War Reconstruction in the City of London" published by B T Batsford Ltd in 1944. It serves as an illustration to highlight the need for reconstruction and improvements after World War II. The vibrant colours bring life to this historic moment, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the physical layout but also envision what life might have been like on these cobblestone streets. The attention to detail in this lithograph provides valuable insight into early twentieth-century England and its urban development. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of how cities evolve over time through careful planning and reconstruction efforts. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability amidst challenging circumstances. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a window into our history—a reminder of where we came from and how far we've come.
