EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Bloomsbury, London in the late 1920s. The bookshop depicted in this image is a haven for literature enthusiasts, offering solace and inspiration amidst the bustling city. Illuminated by soft streetlights, the shop's inviting windows beckon passersby to step inside and explore its literary treasures. A woman stands on the rain-soaked pavement, her eyes fixed on a book she holds delicately in her hands. She is engrossed in her reading, finding respite from the wintry weather outside. Her presence adds a touch of elegance to this scene as she becomes one with the world of words surrounding her. The photogravure technique used by HW Fincham beautifully captures every detail of this moment frozen in time. The monochrome tones evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to an era when books were cherished companions and bookshops were sanctuaries for knowledge seekers. As we gaze at this print from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, we are reminded of how literature has always been intertwined with our daily lives. It serves as both an escape from reality and a gateway to new perspectives. Let this image transport you to another time and place – where rainy evenings are spent lost between pages, where bookshops hold endless possibilities, and where literature illuminates even the darkest corners of our souls.
