EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Festival of Britain, a momentous event that took place in 1951. The image showcases the iconic Royal Festival Hall, located on Belvedere Road in Lambeth, London. Designed by Leslie Martin, Peter Moro, and Robert Matthews from the London County Council's Architecture Department specifically for this grand occasion, the building stands as a testament to their architectural brilliance. The photograph beautifully portrays part of the main entrance front and the south wall of this magnificent structure. Its clean lines and modernist design are evident even in monochrome. Eric de Mare skillfully captured this scene before 1962 when he clicked his camera shutter. As one gazes upon this archival gem, it is impossible not to be transported back to a time when optimism was high after World War II. The Festival of Britain sought to celebrate British achievements in art, science, technology, and industry while also promoting cultural exchange among nations. This print serves as a visual reminder of an important chapter in British history - an era characterized by progressiveness and innovation. It encapsulates both nostalgia for days gone by and admiration for architectural marvels that still stand tall today.
