EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Embankment Gardens in Charing Cross, London during the 1920s. Taken from the pages of "Wonderful London" a publication edited by Arthur St John Adcock, this image transports us back to a time when al fresco dining was enjoyed under parasols amidst the bustling cityscape. In this snapshot, we see a female waitress attending to customers seated at outdoor tables adorned with elegant furniture. The atmosphere is vibrant as people engage in conversation and savor their meals against the backdrop of lush greenery. The photogravure technique used adds depth and texture to every detail, enhancing our experience of this historical moment. The photograph not only showcases an occupation but also reveals glimpses into daily life in early 20th century Britain. It reminds us that even then, women were actively participating in various professions outside their homes. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, it's impossible not to feel drawn into its charm and nostalgia. We are transported to an era where park-goers sought solace among nature while still being part of the vibrant city scene. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent behind its creation and the rich history it represents. It allows us to appreciate how places like Embankment Gardens have evolved over time while preserving their unique character within London's ever-changing landscape.
