EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, capturing the grandeur of the (Old) Central Library in Hayes, Cardiff. Standing tall at Trinity Street's main entrance, this architectural masterpiece is adorned with two exquisite statues that steal the spotlight. These magnificent sculptures were skillfully crafted by William W Taylor and beautifully modeled by his wife. The statues themselves represent Study and Rhetoric, symbolizing knowledge and eloquence within this hallowed institution. As we gaze upon them through the lens of time, their intricate details come to life - a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Formerly known as the Cardiff Free Library, this iconic building served as a sanctuary for literature enthusiasts seeking solace among its vast collection of books. It was more than just bricks and mortar; it was a beacon of intellectual curiosity that fostered learning and exploration. As we delve into this photograph from March 1st, 1965, we are transported back to an era where libraries held a special place in society - temples dedicated to expanding minds and nurturing creativity. The image evokes nostalgia for those who remember spending countless hours immersed in these halls of wisdom. Preserved within Western Mail Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, this snapshot encapsulates not only artistry but also an appreciation for historic buildings and structures that have shaped our cultural landscape over time.
