EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Coade Lion and Big Ben," showcases the striking contrast between the historic Coade stone lion statue and the iconic Big Ben clock tower in London. The image, captured by renowned photographer Eric de Mare between 1966 and 1980, offers a unique perspective of two of the city's most cherished landmarks. The Coade lion, located on Westminster Bridge Road in the Lambeth area, is a masterpiece of 18th-century artistry. Crafted from Coade stone, an artificial material whose original recipe has long been lost, the lion's intricate details and lifelike appearance have withstood the test of time. The statue's weather-resistant properties have allowed it to maintain its grandeur, despite the elements. In the background, the unmistakable silhouette of Big Ben stands tall, its clock face casting long shadows over the scene. The clock tower, an enduring symbol of British heritage and precision, adds depth and context to the image. The juxtaposition of the ancient Coade lion and the modern clock tower highlights the rich history and evolution of London. Eric de Mare's expert framing and composition draw the viewer's attention to the intricacies of both subjects, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of each in their own right. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring allure of these iconic landmarks but also a reminder of the artistry and skill that brought them to life.
