EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in the 1910s, the grandeur of Oxford Street in London during the early 20th century comes alive. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer, showcases the impressive corner building of D.H. Evans department store located at 145-147 Oxford Street. The architectural beauty of the building is evident as sunblinds, or vertical blinds, adorn the large windows, providing a striking contrast against the sunlit facade. The sunblinds, a common feature in buildings during this era, were used to control the amount of sunlight entering the store, creating a comfortable shopping environment for customers. The building's design is a harmonious blend of classical and modern architectural elements. The red brick and stone exterior, with its ornate detailing and intricate cornices, exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. The large, arched windows, framed by decorative metalwork, add to the building's grandeur and invite passersby to explore the wares within. Oxford Street, one of London's busiest and most famous shopping destinations, is bustling with activity in the background. Horse-drawn carriages and motorcars share the road with pedestrians, adding to the vibrant energy of the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of elegant shopping experiences and bustling city streets. This photograph, by Mary Evans / Pharcide, is a testament to the rich history of Oxford Street and the iconic department stores that have shaped London's retail landscape. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of London, architecture, or the evolution of retail spaces.
