EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless elegance of No 1 Dixas Field in Exeter, Devon, before it fell victim to the devastating Baedeker bombing raid in 1942. The Regency-style architecture stands proudly against a backdrop of tranquility, unaware of the imminent destruction that would soon befall it. Photographed by Margaret Tomlinson, an architect and architectural historian based in Devon, this image is a poignant reminder of her dedication to preserving threatened buildings during World War II. Working for the National Buildings Record (NBR), Tomlinson's lens captured not only the physical beauty of structures like No 1 Dixas Field but also their historical significance. The silver gelatin glass plate negative adds an ethereal quality to the photograph, enhancing its nostalgic charm. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when life was simpler yet fraught with uncertainty. Margaret Tomlinson's work extended beyond photography; she played a vital role as an investigator for NBR after joining them in 1943. Her efforts were instrumental in documenting and safeguarding England's architectural heritage amidst post-war reconstruction. Today, thanks to Historic England's preservation efforts and initiatives like Picturing England Archive, we can cherish these visual treasures that remind us of our past struggles and triumphs. This particular print serves as a testament to resilience and reminds us never to forget the impact war has on our built environment.
