EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, circa 1920. Designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and constructed between 1919-1920, this iconic monument stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and subsequent conflicts. Made from exquisite Portland Stone, its grandeur is enhanced by the hand-coloured details that bring life to every corner. The image showcases an avenue lined with majestic buildings, leading up to this magnificent cenotaph. Its significance as a site for national remembrance is evident, as wreaths are carefully laid at its base. The postcard format adds a touch of nostalgia to this timeless scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when communication was simpler yet more meaningful. It serves as a powerful symbol not only of architectural brilliance but also of unity and collective memory.

This image invites us to reflect on our shared history while honoring those who gave their lives for our freedom.
