EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Big Ben's Temporary Disfigurement: A Historical Moment in the Making, 1858" Big Ben, the iconic clock tower located at the heart of London's Parliament Square, was once a sight to behold in its entirety. However, an unexpected turn of events in 1858 necessitated a drastic change to its appearance. This evocative photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the essence of this historical moment, as scaffolding engulfs the once proud edifice, and the Great Bell itself lies in pieces, awaiting recast. The year was 1858, and the Great Bell, which had been in operation since 1859, had developed a crack. The bell, named after Queen Elizabeth I's second husband, Sir Francis Drake, was a vital component of the clock tower, and its tolling marked the passage of time for the British people. The decision was made to recast the bell, ensuring its continued functionality and longevity. The image presents a stark contrast to the grandeur of Big Ben, with its intricate Gothic Revival architecture, now obscured by the industrial scaffolding. The bell, dismantled and in pieces, lies in the foreground, a testament to the passage of time and the relentless march of progress. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as the symbol of British timekeeping undergoes a transformation. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the history of one of England's most cherished landmarks. It serves as a reminder that even the most iconic structures undergo change, and that the preservation of history often necessitates a temporary loss of its visual splendor. The image is a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of time and the importance of embracing change while cherishing the past.
