EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Ethel Davies in 2005, showcases the iconic red telephone boxes designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. Dating back to 1926, these traditional telephone booths with their distinctive crown symbolize a piece of London's rich history. However, as time passes, they are rapidly disappearing from the bustling streets of London. In this image, two remaining telephone boxes stand proudly against a backdrop of typical Georgian buildings near Oxford Street in W1, England. The juxtaposition between the historic red structures and the elegant architecture behind them creates a unique visual contrast. Davies' photograph captures not only the exterior beauty of these beloved landmarks but also serves as a reminder of how quickly our urban landscapes can change. These once-ubiquitous symbols of communication now hold an air of nostalgia as technology advances and renders them obsolete. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, we are transported to an era where phone calls were made through rotary dials and conversations took place within these vibrant enclosures on busy city streets. Ethel Davies has masterfully preserved this snapshot in time for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon the evolution of our ever-changing world.
