EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Soho, London in 1973, as depicted through the lens of renowned photographer Robert Stallard. The image focuses on the intersection of Wardour Street and Broadwick Street, where the number 122 can be seen on the facade of a building that once housed Moss (Woollens) Ltd. The scene is a snapshot of the 1970s Soho district, with its labyrinthine network of narrow streets teeming with life. Cars are parked haphazardly along the road, their tires aligned in neat rows, while the pavement is filled with people and the occasional market stall. The double windows of the Moss shop display a range of textiles and clothing, showcasing the thriving textile trade of the area. The photograph's composition is striking, with the diagonal lines created by the parked cars and the converging streets drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the image. The contrast between the dark, moody sky and the brightly lit shop windows adds depth and texture, highlighting the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of Soho during this era. Robert Stallard's photograph is a testament to the unique character of Soho in the 1970s, a time when the district was known for its diverse and bohemian population, its thriving businesses, and its rich cultural scene. This image is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, and a reminder of the enduring allure of one of London's most iconic neighborhoods.
