EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Festival of Britain, a momentous event that celebrated the nation's resilience and creativity. The image showcases the iconic Royal Festival Hall, standing proudly on Belvedere Road in London's South Bank area. Its grandeur is accentuated by the presence of an impressive shot tower, which was constructed way back in 1826. The composition beautifully captures both structures from Hungerford Bridge, offering a unique perspective on their architectural magnificence. The shot tower, once a symbol of industrial progress and innovation, was skillfully incorporated into the development plans for the Festival of Britain in 1951. Sadly, its fate took an unfortunate turn as it was demolished shortly after this photograph was taken. Photographed by S. W Rawlings with great attention to detail and artistic flair, this archival print serves as a visual testament to our rich history and cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect upon how far we have come while appreciating the enduring beauty of these landmarks. As we gaze at this remarkable piece captured by S. W Rawlings' lens, let us immerse ourselves in nostalgia and marvel at the ingenuity that shaped our past. This print stands as a timeless reminder of our collective achievements and serves as an inspiration for future generations who will continue to shape London's ever-evolving landscape.
