EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in the bustling city of London during the 1920s. The image showcases a flock of sheep peacefully grazing on the iconic Strand, creating an intriguing contrast between urban and rural life. As one gazes at this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that agriculture and livestock farming were once intertwined with the fabric of this vibrant metropolis. The photograph beautifully portrays a shepherd guiding his flock amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. In the background, an open-topped bus drives past, symbolizing the rapid advancements in road transport during that era. This juxtaposition highlights how traditional farming practices coexisted harmoniously with modernization. Published as part of "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, this image offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when shepherds would guide their livestock through busy city streets. It serves as a reminder that even within concrete jungles like London, there was still space for nature's presence. As we admire this monochrome photogravure print today, we are transported back to an England where country lanes intersected with bustling avenues. The unknown creator has captured not only a picturesque scene but also encapsulated an entire century's worth of history within its frames.
