EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the heart of London. The image showcases Buckingham Palace, one of the most iconic landmarks in the city, against the backdrop of bustling activity on The Mall. Pedestrians and cars fill the street, creating a vibrant atmosphere that reflects the energy of post-war celebrations. In the center of this lively scene stands the Kings Stand, an impressive structure erected around the Queen Victoria Memorial. This monument serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives during World War 1. It is adorned with peace decorations that were specially put up to commemorate Peace Day and Victory March on July 19th, 1919. Photographer Katherine MacFee expertly captured these significant moments by taking several photographs over three consecutive days in July 1919. Her lens immortalizes not only a time when London was adorned with celebratory decorations but also marks a pivotal point in history—the end of World War 1. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to an era filled with hope and relief after years of conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of our collective journey towards peace and offers us an opportunity to reflect on those who sacrificed so much during times of war.
