In the bustling streets of Central London, a young woman in furs strides confidently, her candid photograph capturing her determination and grace. As she walks, she unknowingly follows in the footsteps of those who came before her - like Swift and the Mohawks depicted in an engraving, or Eugene Aram lost in his dream world. Meanwhile, a giant salesman from 1928 makes colossal strides through the city as he guides others on their journey to selling success. In contrast, a black and white photo of Oxford Street in East London shows ordinary people taking small but significant steps towards their destinations. The march of hospitality is portrayed vividly in a colored engraving where individuals eagerly make gigantic strides towards a grand feast awaiting them in the City. Similarly, Main Street in Port Elizabeth captures everyday life as people walk with purpose amidst shops and buildings. Shoes have always played an essential role in our stride throughout history; from Pattens worn back in 1812 to fashionable Bond St shopping experiences during the swinging 1960s. Even Jack Frost leaves his icy mark on Germany's landscapes while old ladies pass railings gracefully at Abbey Gardens. Lastly, two stern ladies stride down a London street exuding power and confidence. Their presence reminds us that every step we take can be filled with purpose and determination. In this diverse collection of images captured over time, "strides" emerge as more than just physical movements; they represent progress, ambition, resilience, and ultimately embody our collective human spirit reaching for new horizons.
