EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Wood Street plane tree in Cheapside, London. The image, taken by Donald McLeish in the early twentieth century, showcases the resilience of this majestic tree that stands on the site where a church once stood before being destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666. The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in "The Wonderful Story of London" published by Odhams Press Limited in 1938. It exudes a sense of history and nostalgia as it transports us back to an era when cobblestone streets lined with old buildings defined the cityscape. Intriguingly, this picture not only depicts a remarkable natural landmark but also offers glimpses into daily life during that time period. The surrounding area includes shops and stores bustling with activity, forming an integral part of London's rich historical tapestry. As we gaze at this monochromatic masterpiece, we are transported to another time - one filled with charm and character. The Wood Street plane tree serves as a silent witness to centuries gone by while standing tall amidst the ever-changing landscape of England's capital city. With its timeless appeal and artistic composition, this photograph from Bridgeman Images encapsulates both the beauty of nature and the allure of history. It reminds us that even amidst urban development, traces of our past can still be found if we take a moment to look closely.
