EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1920s. The image showcases the iconic Burlington Arcade entrance, standing proudly alongside the grand house of the Royal Academy on Piccadilly. The architectural beauty of these buildings is evident as they dominate the cityscape with their intricate designs and timeless elegance. The artist, McLeish, has expertly captured every detail, from the ornate facades to the bustling traffic passing by. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages shared space with early motor vehicles. The transport and traffic depicted here provide a glimpse into daily life during this period. Published in "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927, this print serves as a testament to British heritage and architecture. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this scene, transporting us back in time while highlighting the enduring charm of London's city streets. It is through images like these that we can appreciate how much our surroundings have changed over time yet still retain their unique character. This remarkable piece captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how cities evolve while preserving their historic landmarks for future generations to admire.
