EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken around 1908, W.S. Lincoln, a renowned stamp dealer and postcard publisher, is captured on the pavement outside his shop at 2 Holles Street, off Oxford Street, in the heart of London's bustling West End. The Edwardian era is palpable in the scene, with the elegant terraced buildings of Cavendish Square in the background and the horse-drawn carriages and people on the street adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Lincoln stands to the right of the image, his attire reflecting the professionalism and respectability of his trade. He is deeply engrossed in a conversation with a customer, his hands gesturing animatedly as they discuss the intricacies of stamp collecting. The shop window behind him is filled with an enticing display of stamps and postcards, their colors and designs beckoning passersby. The pavement in front of the shop is a hive of activity, with people milling about, some stopping to admire the wares on display, while others hurry past, their eyes fixed on their destinations. Horse-drawn carriages and motor cars line the narrow street, adding to the cacophony of sounds and the sense of movement and energy that characterizes this bustling London scene. The buildings on either side of the street are adorned with ornate windows, their facades a testament to the architectural beauty of the era. The terraced buildings of Cavendish Square, with their grandiose columns and intricate details, loom in the background, their elegant appearance a stark contrast to the more utilitarian structures of the shops and houses on Holles Street. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London's streets were filled with the sounds, sights, and smells of a thriving commercial hub, where merchants like W.S. Lincoln plied their trades and the bustle of everyday life continued unabated.
