EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the timeless beauty and charm of Bloomsbury, central London. This print by Donald McLeish showcases a picturesque Georgian square adorned with magnificent plane trees. The elegant terraced houses that surround the square serve as a testament to the rich history and architectural grandeur of this neighborhood. Notably, number 30 was once home to the renowned artist Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), adding an extra layer of artistic significance to this scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when boarding houses were prevalent and rented accommodation was sought after in bustling cities like London. The monochrome aesthetic lends a nostalgic feel to the photograph, emphasizing the enduring beauty of nature amidst urban surroundings. The towering plane trees provide shade and serenity in this busy cityscape, offering respite for residents and visitors alike. This stunning visual from "Wonderful London, Volume 2", edited by Arthur St John Adcock, allows us to appreciate both the natural splendor of these majestic trees and their harmonious coexistence with man-made structures. It serves as a reminder that even in densely populated areas like Bloomsbury, pockets of tranquility can be found if one knows where to look. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time from 1935, let us celebrate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance as a testament
