EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 89 Drury Lane in 1876, a relic of old London. The image, taken by Alfred and John Bool, is part of a series documenting buildings at risk of demolition. Published between 1875-87 by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, these photographs aimed to preserve the architectural heritage that was slowly fading away. In this particular photograph, we see a dilapidated facade standing proudly amidst an urban landscape. The Victorian architecture tells tales of its glorious past while also revealing signs of wear and tear. The rundown shops on the ground floor add character to this street scene in Holborn. The photographer skillfully captures both the grandeur and decay present in this scene. Every detail, from the male figure passing by to the shop fronts with their faded signage, contributes to creating a vivid snapshot frozen in time. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich history but also highlights how cities evolve over time. It prompts us to appreciate our built environment and consider ways to preserve these relics for future generations. This photograph is now part of a private collection but remains out-of-copyright since it belongs to English heritage. Its beauty lies not only in its artistic value but also in its ability to transport us back into an era long gone yet still resonating through images like these captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform.
