EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Old Compton Street in Soho, London during the 1920s. The image, part of the illustrious publication "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, showcases a snapshot of bustling city life from that era. In this monochrome landscape, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn vehicles were still a common sight on the roads. A horse and cart can be seen gracefully making its way through the street as pedestrians go about their daily routines. The buildings lining both sides of Old Compton Street stand tall and proud, showcasing architectural marvels that have stood the test of time. The atmosphere captured in this photogravure is one filled with energy and excitement. People from all walks of life traverse this busy thoroughfare, perhaps heading towards one of the many restaurants or establishments that line its path. It's an enchanting glimpse into a bygone era where transport was simpler yet no less charming. As we admire this historical gem, it reminds us of how cities evolve over time while retaining their unique character. This print serves as a testament to London's enduring spirit and rich heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty found within these city streets but also offers an opportunity for reflection on our own connection to history and place.
