EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1940, showcases the unique juxtaposition of ancient and modern architecture along the banks of the River Thames in London. In the foreground, the towering Cleopatra's Needle obelisk stands proudly, an Egyptian relic transported from Alexandria and erected in 1878. The obelisk, adorned with hieroglyphics and intricate carvings, is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that occurred between Egypt and Europe during ancient times. Behind Cleopatra's Needle, the distinctive Art Deco design of Shell Mex House can be seen. Designed by architect Ernest George and completed in 1933, the building was a groundbreaking example of modern architecture in London during the 1930s. Clad in red brick and terracotta, the double-decker buses that once frequented the Embankment add a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The Shell Mex House, with its streamlined forms and geometric shapes, is a striking contrast to the ancient obelisk. The building's clock face, positioned above the entrance, adds a sense of order and rhythm to the bustling city scene. The photograph captures a moment in time when the past and the future collide, offering a glimpse into the rich architectural and cultural history of London.
