EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of London's iconic Old Vic Theatre in 1926-1927. The artist, McLeish, skillfully portrays the grandeur and history of this renowned performing arts venue. Located on a bustling street in the heart of the city, the Old Vic stands as a testament to Britain's rich cultural heritage. In this snapshot from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press, we are transported back to a time when theatre was at its zenith. The image showcases not only the architectural beauty of the building but also provides a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere surrounding it. As we peer into this monochrome scene, we see people strolling along the lane adjacent to the theatre, adding life and movement to an otherwise static moment frozen in time. It is evident that even then, during England's roaring twenties, Londoners cherished their theatrical traditions. The photogravure technique employed by McLeish adds depth and texture to every detail captured within this print. From every brick on its facade to each passerby on that historic road, no element goes unnoticed. This remarkable piece serves as both a visual tribute to one of London's most beloved landmarks and a reminder of how art can transcend generations. As we admire this timeless photograph today, let us be reminded of our shared cultural legacy and appreciate those who have contributed towards shaping it throughout history.
