EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the interior of Grand Trunk Railways' new London offices in 1909. Designed by renowned architect Sir Aston Webb, this impressive space is adorned with a stunning tempera frieze created by artist Frank Brangwyn. The intricate details of the frieze add an artistic touch to the otherwise functional office environment. Located on Cockspur Street, this bustling hub served as the headquarters for one of England's prominent railway companies during the early 20th century. The image showcases a busy day at these offices, with employees attending to their tasks behind counters and desks. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and architectural beauty. It offers us a glimpse into an era when rail transportation was at its peak, shaping not only London but also connecting various parts of England. As we observe this remarkable print, we can't help but marvel at how art seamlessly blends with functionality within this space. The collaboration between Sir Aston Webb and Frank Brangwyn has resulted in an interior that exudes elegance and sophistication while serving as a practical workspace for railway operations. This print serves as a testament to the rich history of transportation in London and reminds us of the importance of preserving such architectural gems for future generations to admire.
