EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 1930s London, specifically Oxford Street. The image showcases Selfridges department store, a true icon of British shopping history. Standing tall amidst the cityscape, this architectural marvel is depicted in all its grandeur. What makes this photograph truly fascinating is that it captures not only Selfridges but also the last remnants of the old shops that were engulfed by its construction. It serves as a poignant reminder of how progress can reshape our urban landscapes over time. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the enduring appeal of both architecture and fashion. As we gaze upon this snapshot from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, we are transported to an era when department stores were emporiums of dreams and desires. Oxford Street itself comes alive in this image - a vibrant thoroughfare filled with shoppers strolling along its lanes, eager to explore what these establishments have to offer. This photograph encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also represents an important chapter in British history. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate the legacy left behind by those who built these magnificent structures and celebrate their contribution to shaping our modern world.
