EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling Ludgate Circus and Ludgate Hill in the City of London around 1910. The image, taken by the renowned Photochrom Co Ltd of London, showcases a vibrant scene filled with traffic and transport that characterized this historic connection between the City of London and Westminster. Ludgate Circus holds great significance as it stands on the path of the River Fleet, an underground river that once flowed through London. This photograph is part of Sir Walter Besant's book "London - The City" published in 1911 by Adam & Charles Black. It beautifully depicts a snapshot of early 20th-century England, with its busy streets lined with buildings and advertisements. The prominent St Paul's Cathedral can be seen towering over Ludgate Hill, adding a touch of religious grandeur to this lively cityscape. Horse-drawn carriages traverse the roads alongside modern modes of transportation, showcasing both tradition and progress. Intriguingly monochrome yet rich in detail, this black-and-white print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It offers viewers a glimpse into daily life in Britain during this period while highlighting the intersection between commerce, religion, and culture within one frame. With its historical significance and artistic charm, this print from Heritage Images serves as an invaluable visual record capturing an iconic moment in time on Ludgate Circus and Ludgate Hill.
