1. Title: "Hyde Park Corner: A London Landmark Before the InterContinental Hotel (1963-1968)" This evocative drawing captures the essence of Hyde Park Corner in London before the construction of the InterContinental Hotel began in 1968. The image, created prior to 1963, showcases the iconic corner where Apsley Way meets Park Lane, a bustling hub of activity in the heart of the city. The scene is dominated by the grandeur of the Wellington Arch, standing proudly at its center, crowned by the victorious Quadriga. The arch, erected in 1826 to commemorate the victories of the Duke of Wellington, has long been a symbol of British military history and a beloved landmark for locals and tourists alike. Surrounding the arch, the drawing reveals a vibrant and dynamic urban landscape. Buses and taxis navigate the busy streets, their routes crisscrossing the intersection, while pedestrians move about, adding to the hustle and bustle. The presence of double-decker buses is a testament to the era, as they were a common sight in London during the 1960s. In the background, the sky is filled with planes, planes, and more planes. The drawing captures the spirit of the age of aviation, with aircraft of various shapes and sizes taking to the skies. The planes, both civilian and military, are a reminder of the growing importance of air travel during this period. The serene expanse of Hyde Park can be seen in the distance, providing a tranquil contrast to the bustling city scene. The park, with its rich history and beautiful landscapes, has long been a beloved retreat for Londoners and visitors alike. This drawing offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into London's history and the evolution of its iconic landmarks.
