This print captures a moment in time at the iconic Fortnum and Mason department store, located on 181 Piccadilly in Greater London. Taken in August 1927 by renowned architectural photographers Bedford Lemere and Co, this image showcases the store's entrance at the corner of Jermyn Street and Duke Street during its rebuilding phase. Visible in the photograph is the scaffolding that adorned the frontage of Fortnum and Mason as it underwent extensive renovations between 1926 and 1928. The intricate details of this grand building are beautifully highlighted, showcasing its timeless elegance even amidst construction work.
