EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from a magazine article about an imaginary snow-bound London. The image, captured by an English School artist in the 20th century, takes us back to the year 1899 when the Harmsworth Magazine published this whimsical illustration. Intriguingly, this amusing piece of history depicts a London that never was - a city blanketed in thick layers of snow during what would typically be mild winters. It playfully explores the concept of extreme weather conditions and global cooling at a time when concerns about climate change were far from prevalent. The photograph transports us to frozen scenes within the heart of England's capital. We see iconic landmarks such as the Bank of England and City of London engulfed by icy landscapes, with cutting ice harvests taking place on the frozen River Thames. This humorous depiction serves as both entertainment and trick photography for its audience. As we admire this imaginative portrayal, it reminds us how art can transport us to alternate realities while simultaneously reflecting on our own world. Preserved in private collection, this historical artifact offers glimpses into past perceptions and beliefs surrounding weather patterns. It is truly fascinating to witness how people envisioned their surroundings over a century ago – even if it was all just an amusing flight of fancy.
