1. Title: A Historical Moment in Oxford Street: Selfridges Department Store, London, 1910. This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Oxford Street in London, where the iconic Selfridges Department Store first opened its doors in 1909. The image, taken in 1910, showcases the grandeur and elegance of this flagship store that revolutionized shopping and commerce in the early 20th century. Selfridges, founded by the visionary American entrepreneur, Harry Gordon Selfridge, was the first department store in the United Kingdom to be designed specifically for the convenience and enjoyment of the shopper. The store's innovative features, such as electric lighting, central heating, and a restaurant on the premises, attracted large crowds and quickly established Selfridges as a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. In this photograph, we see the impressive façade of the store, adorned with ornate architectural details and the distinctive green and gold Selfridges sign. The crowd of people gathered outside reflects the store's popularity and the excitement it generated. The double-decker buses and horse-drawn carriages in the background offer a glimpse into the diverse modes of transportation during this era. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Selfridges and its significant role in shaping the retail landscape in London and beyond. It invites us to appreciate the evolution of shopping experiences and the enduring appeal of this iconic department store.
