EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an aerial view of central Manchester, taken from the Chatham Building of Manchester Polytechnic on a sunny day in June 1978. The image showcases the bustling skyline of Manchester City centre, adorned with towering buildings and architectural marvels that define this vibrant cityscape. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is the stark contrast it presents between the lively urban environment and the serene oasis nestled in its midst - All Saints Gardens. In the foreground, these beautifully landscaped gardens offer a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle below. The composition expertly highlights both aspects of Manchester's character - its dynamic energy as a thriving metropolis and its ability to provide pockets of tranquility amidst all the activity. As viewers gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, they are transported back to an era when grand structures dominated skylines and cities were evolving at a rapid pace. Photographer John Holland skillfully captured not only a moment but also an essence - one that encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone days and appreciation for progress. This stunning visual representation invites us to reflect on how cities evolve over time while reminding us that even within concrete jungles, there can be moments of calm beauty waiting to be discovered.
