EDITORS COMMENTS
The Eastern wing of Somerset House, London, 1926-1927. This print transports us back to the bustling city streets of 1920s Britain. The artist McLeish skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of Somerset House, a historic landmark in the heart of London. Published in 'Wonderful London', edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927, this image offers a glimpse into the past with its monochrome charm. The photogravure technique used adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing its visual impact. Somerset House stands as a testament to English heritage and craftsmanship. Its majestic presence dominates the skyline, reflecting both elegance and strength. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets while men donned top hats and women adorned themselves with flapper dresses. The location itself holds historical significance within London's cultural landscape. It has served various purposes throughout history – from being a Tudor palace to housing government offices – before becoming home to prestigious arts institutions today. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a window into our country's rich history. It reminds us that even amidst modernization, there are timeless treasures that continue to shape our cities.
