EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1930s, two women, dressed in elegant coats and hats, pause at Libertys corner on London's Regent Street. The Tudor-style shop facade of Libertys, with its ornate woodwork and half-timbered appearance, stands proudly behind them. The women's reflections can be seen in the large, expansive window, which showcases an array of fashionable clothing and accessories. The atmosphere of the scene is one of anticipation and excitement. The women appear deep in conversation, their eyes focused on the shop window, as they consider their next purchase. The bustling crowd and traffic of Regent Street can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of energy and activity. Despite the vibrancy of the scene, there are also signs of the changing times. The women's coats suggest a chill in the air, hinting at the approach of winter. The smog and pollution, which can be seen in the hazy sky above, were becoming increasingly common in London during the 1930s. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of everyday life in London during the 1930s. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of Libertys, which has continued to draw shoppers to its iconic corner of Regent Street for over a century. The shop's unique Tudor-style facade, with its timeless charm and character, remains a beloved feature of the London landscape.
