EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a momentous day in London's history. The year is 1938, and Queen Mary is about to unveil the impressive £90,000 extension to Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton. Amongst the vast crowds that eagerly awaited her arrival were 1,200 children from over 100 schools. The image captures a poignant scene amidst the excitement - the restraining hand of the law on a small boy who was part of the crowd that greeted Queen Mary. This powerful visual serves as a reminder of both authority and innocence coexisting within society. As we delve into London's rich past through this monochrome photograph, we witness not only an architectural milestone but also glimpse into everyday life during this turbulent period between two world wars. The image evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when Europeana photography documented significant moments with precision and artistry. This remarkable snapshot has been preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, showcasing their dedication to preserving historical treasures for future generations. As we admire this piece of history captured on film, let us reflect on how our city has evolved while cherishing these glimpses into our collective memory.
