EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Royal Festival Hall and Shot Tower in all its grandeur. Standing proudly on Belvedere Road, South Bank, Lambeth, London, the Royal Festival Hall is a testament to architectural brilliance. Designed by Sir Robert Matthew and J L Martin, this magnificent concert hall was built between 1949-1951 as part of the renowned Festival of Britain. As we gaze upon this image taken by Eric de Mare between 1951-1966, our eyes are drawn to the impressive structure of the Royal Festival Hall. Its sleek lines and modernist design evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication that still resonates today. Adjacent to the hall stands the historic Shot Tower, which adds an intriguing element to this composition. Although it no longer exists today due to demolition after the festival ended, its presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of London's ever-changing landscape. The photographer skillfully captures this scene from Waterloo Bridge with great attention to detail. The urban backdrop contrasts beautifully against the serene river flowing beneath it. This juxtaposition creates a visual harmony that truly reflects both the vibrancy and tranquility found within London's cityscape. Eric de Mare's remarkable work allows us to travel back in time and experience these architectural marvels through his lens. This print is not just an image; it is a window into history—a snapshot frozen in time for future generations to appreciate and admire.
