EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Drury Lane, looking south towards the magnificent steeple of St. Mary-le-Strand. Taken around 1876 by Alfred and John Bool, this image is part of a series documenting relics of old London. The scene showcases the bustling junction of Wych Street, with its charming shop fronts and vernacular architecture that epitomizes Victorian England. The cobbled streets add character to the deserted setting, as if frozen in time. The wind seems to whisper stories from days gone by, while the bell tower stands tall against the skyline. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when plaster and timber houses lined these historic streets. It also highlights how buildings like these were once in danger of demolition before being documented for preservation purposes. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to an age where city life thrived amidst architectural wonders such as St. Mary-le-Strand's steeple. This image encapsulates both the beauty and fragility of our urban landscapes throughout time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value through photography.
