EDITORS COMMENTS
As the Ships See London From The Pool, c1935. This print captures a timeless view of London from the perspective of ships sailing along the River Thames. Tower Bridge stands proudly in the foreground, its majestic structure spanning across the river, while a tug boat gracefully glides through the water. Beyond, amidst a stunning sunset backdrop, we catch a glimpse of St Paul's Cathedral's iconic dome rising above the cityscape. The image showcases The Pool of London, an area bustling with maritime activity between London Bridge and Rotherhithe peninsula. It serves as a reminder of London's rich history as a thriving port and trading hub. Published in 'Wonderful London', edited by Arthur St John Adcock in 1935, this photograph offers us an enchanting snapshot into the past. The monochrome composition adds to its allure, emphasizing contrasting silhouettes against an evening sky. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, it evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about what life was like during that era. This remarkable piece not only celebrates British heritage but also highlights how transportation on water played a vital role in shaping cities like London. It reminds us that even today, amid modernity and progress, there is beauty to be found when we take a moment to see things from different perspectives.
