EDITORS COMMENTS
"Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, London, adorned with scaffolding in 1933. This iconic photograph captures the historic clock tower undergoing essential renovation work, a sight not commonly seen by the public. The Palace of Westminster, home to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, is a symbol of British history and democracy. In this image, the clock tower, with its intricate details and ornate features, is shrouded in scaffolding, providing a unique perspective of this renowned landmark. The year 1933 marked a significant moment in the history of Big Ben as the clock tower underwent extensive renovation work. The scaffolding was erected to enable the necessary repairs and cleaning of the clock face and the bells. The musical notes of the chimes, given below in E Major, add an extra layer of charm to this photograph, reminding us of the iconic sound that has marked the passage of time in London for over a century. The 1930s were an era of transformation for London, and this photograph encapsulates the spirit of the time. The scaffolding, a common sight in the city during the renovation of various historic buildings, adds to the character of the image, making it a fascinating document of London's rich history. This photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for licensing from Mary Evans Prints Online." (Musical notation: E - G# - C# - G# - B - C# - D# - E)
