EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the grand opening of Leicester Square Gardens in London on 3rd July 1874. The Alhambra theatre stands tall in the background, a testament to the vibrant entertainment scene of that era. However, what truly captures our attention is the line of people eagerly trying to catch a glimpse of the ceremony through the cracks in the high wooden fence that separates them from this momentous occasion. Their faces are filled with anticipation and curiosity as they strain their necks, hoping for even a fleeting view. This image beautifully encapsulates both their longing and their determination to be part of something bigger than themselves. It's fascinating to think about how much has changed since then. The Alhambra theatre was eventually demolished in 1936, making way for the iconic Odeon cinema that now graces this historic location. Yet, despite these transformations over time, one thing remains constant – Leicester Square Gardens continues to be an integral part of London's cultural landscape. The London Stereoscopic Company has masterfully captured this slice of history with remarkable detail and depth. Through their lens, we are transported back more than a century ago, allowing us to witness firsthand a significant moment in time when artistry met progress. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel connected to those individuals who stood at that very spot so long ago – united by their shared desire for connection and discovery amidst bustling city life.
