EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of Soho, London, with a focus on the historic Shakespeares Head public house. Built in 1735, this iconic pub stands proudly on the corner of 29 Great Marlborough Street and Fouberts Place, a bustling intersection in the heart of this vibrant district. The photograph, taken by Robert Stallard in 1973, transports us back to the 1970s, an era filled with character and charm. The Shakespeares Head public house is a testament to Soho's rich heritage, with its intricate signage and the sculpture of William Shakespeare's head adorning the facade. The sign, with its faded letters and worn edges, speaks of countless stories and memories etched into its surface. The bust of the Bard, gazing out onto the bustling street, adds an air of sophistication and history to the scene. The photograph also showcases the unique charm of Soho's streets, with their narrow pavements, colorful buildings, and the mix of old and new. The area's eclectic mix of businesses, from antique shops to modern boutiques, adds to the intrigue and allure of this iconic London district. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, capturing a moment in time that continues to inspire and captivate. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a testament to the enduring character of Soho, and a tribute to the rich history and heritage of this unique and vibrant area of London.
