EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Tivoli Corner, Sir John Soane's masterpiece at the Bank of England in c1935. The Bank of England, located in the heart of London's City, underwent an expansion by the renowned architect Sir John Soane back in 1788. However, it was during the 1930s that a remarkable addition was made - a walkway carved through Tivoli Corner to provide pedestrians with a safe passage around this bustling corner without having to navigate through busy roads. The image is sourced from "Wonderful London, Volume 2", edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Fleetway House in London around c1935. It beautifully captures the neo-classical architecture of this iconic British institution. The monochrome composition adds depth and timelessness to the scene while emphasizing every intricate detail. The photograph highlights not only Soane's architectural brilliance but also represents an era when urban planning aimed at enhancing public convenience. The pillars and urns adorning Tivoli Corner exude elegance against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving cityscape. As we gaze upon this unique snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both our rich heritage and how innovative solutions can seamlessly blend into historical masterpieces like Tivoli Corner. This print serves as a testament to Britain's architectural prowess and its commitment to creating harmonious spaces for its citizens amidst progress and change.
