EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1935 showcases the iconic London Bridge and Adelaide House, offering a glimpse into the bustling cityscape of London in the early 20th century. The image captures a steamship gracefully navigating through the River Thames, while traffic flows steadily across the bridge towards the City from Southwark. Adelaide House, completed in 1925, stands tall as an architectural marvel and was hailed as the City's tallest office block at that time. It holds historical significance as it was also one of the first buildings in London to employ the innovative steel frame technique. Its art deco design adds a touch of elegance to this vibrant city scene. Hand-coloured with meticulous attention to detail, this postcard-like print brings forth a sense of nostalgia for an era when communication relied heavily on postal services. The composition beautifully combines elements of transportation and geography, showcasing both water transport on the river and vehicular traffic on land. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a period characterized by rapid urban development and progress. This photograph serves as a testament to London's rich history and its continuous evolution as a global capital city. Though captured by an unknown creator, their skillful eye has immortalized this moment forever within our collective memory.
