EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 1930s London. The image showcases the serene beauty of Blackheath, one of Greater London's most historic commons. Captured by Donald McLeish, a talented photographer of his time, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the leisurely activities enjoyed by locals during that period. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the boating lake at Blackheath. Nestled in south-east London, this picturesque body of water served as a hub for recreational boating. The boats gently glide across its tranquil surface, creating an idyllic scene that exudes relaxation and tranquility. As we delve deeper into this historical gem, it becomes evident that McLeish expertly captured not only the landscape but also the essence of life in 1930s Britain. This monochrome masterpiece allows us to appreciate both the geographical features surrounding Blackheath Common and how they were interwoven with daily life. Arthur St John Adcock's publication "Wonderful London" further adds value to this remarkable print. It serves as a testament to how such images were cherished and shared during that time period.
