EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to an era of imagination and whimsy. The image is a page from a magazine article about an imaginary snow-bound London, created by the English School in the 20th century. In this humorous and entertaining illustration for the Harmsworth Magazine from 1899, we are transported to a world where mild winters are replaced with freezing cold temperatures and extreme weather conditions. Tower Bridge stands tall amidst a frozen River Thames, while Hyde Park transforms into an ice rink bustling with skaters. The clever trick photography used in this piece adds to its charm, as it playfully depicts what London might look like under these fantastical circumstances. It serves as both a reminder of how unpredictable weather can be and as a source of amusement. As we admire this snapshot from history, it's interesting to note that even over a century ago people were contemplating global cooling and warming trends. This artwork captures not only the creativity of its time but also reflects on our ongoing fascination with climate changes. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this unique print by Bridgeman Images invites us to indulge in nostalgia while appreciating the artistry behind capturing such imaginative scenes.
