EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the annexe to Westminster Abbey in preparation for King George VI's coronation in 1937. The image showcases the bustling activity of London, England during this era, with people and cars filling the streets as they contribute to this monumental project. The architectural beauty of Westminster Abbey is juxtaposed against the backdrop of a rapidly changing cityscape. The elevated view offers a stunning vista that highlights both the grandeur of the abbey and its integration into the urban landscape. This scene perfectly encapsulates how religion and tradition coexist within a modern metropolis. The photograph not only documents an important event but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. It symbolizes progress, showcasing how buildings can be erected even amidst busy city life. The dedication and hard work put into constructing this annexe are evident through every detail captured by the monochrome lens. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when kings were crowned, faith was celebrated, and cities evolved before our eyes. It reminds us that even in moments of great change, there are constants that ground us - like architecture steeped in religious significance or traditions passed down through generations. This remarkable print from Odhams Press Ltd. 's publication "The Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth" allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind its creation and its cultural significance for future generations.
