EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Barnabys Library at 19 Rathbone Street, a hidden gem nestled off the bustling Oxford Street in London, between the years 1969 and 2001. The Georgian shopfront, with its elegant convex facade, once housed Barnabys Picture Library, a treasure trove of historical and artistic images that had been in operation since 1931. Barnabys Picture Library was a unique establishment that offered a vast collection of high-quality, rights-managed prints for various communications needs. From advertising and publishing to educational and personal use, the library catered to a diverse range of clients, providing them with access to an extensive archive of visual content. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the library was a favorite amongst visitors, who were often drawn in by the intriguing display of prints in the window. The shelves inside were lined with an impressive array of images, ranging from classic works of art to rare and obscure photographs. The knowledgeable staff were always on hand to offer expert advice and assistance, making the experience of sourcing the perfect print a truly enjoyable one. Despite its popularity, Barnabys Picture Library eventually closed its doors in 2001, leaving behind a rich legacy in the world of visual communications. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the magic and wonder that once filled the space and continues to inspire those who appreciate the power of a well-chosen image.
