EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the road improvements taking place on the Strand in Westminster, London in 1900. The image showcases a significant moment in the city's history as it underwent changes to its infrastructure during the early 20th century. The photograph, taken by an English photographer from the 20th century, is part of a private collection and was featured in The King (Illustrated), A Pictorial Record of the World's News published by George Newnes Limited in London on July 7,1900. In this snapshot, we see workers engaged in roadworks and widening projects along Wych Street and Holywell Street. These areas were eventually demolished to make way for further development. Notably present is St Mary le Strand, a stone church that stands as a public monument amidst all these architectural transformations. The print offers us glimpses into Victorian-era Britain with its historical significance and British culture evident throughout. It also highlights Germany's influence on architecture at that time since German architects' designs played a role in shaping some of these buildings. Overall, this image provides insight into both London's rich history and European influences on its urban landscape during this period.
