EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the iconic Fortnum and Mason department store, located on 181 Piccadilly in Greater London. Taken in August 1927 by renowned architectural photographers Bedford Lemere and Co, this image showcases the store's entrance at the corner of Jermyn Street and Duke Street during its rebuilding phase. Visible in the photograph is the scaffolding that adorned the frontage of Fortnum and Mason as it underwent extensive renovations between 1926 and 1928. The intricate details of this grand building are beautifully highlighted, showcasing its timeless elegance even amidst construction work. The architectural practice responsible for overseeing these renovations was Wimperis, Simpson & Guthrie, known for their expertise in creating stunning structures. Adolphe Augustus Boucher skillfully captured this historical moment with his camera lens, preserving a piece of London's commercial heritage. Fortnum and Mason has long been synonymous with luxury shopping experiences since its establishment in 1707. This photograph serves as a testament to its enduring presence on Piccadilly throughout various transformations over centuries. It stands as a reminder of both progress and tradition within commerce while offering us a glimpse into an era gone by.
