EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1920s. The focal point is the grand Mansion House, standing proudly as the official residence of the Lord Mayor of the City of London. Built in Palladian style during the 18th century, this architectural masterpiece was designed by George Dance the Elder. As we gaze down Cheapside, our eyes are drawn to Bow Church's spire, a creation by Wren that adds further charm to this historic scene. The image is taken from "Wonderful London" a publication edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published between 1926-1927. The street below showcases a vibrant cityscape filled with various modes of transportation. Horse-drawn carts and omnibuses traverse through Cheapside, symbolizing an era when road transport played a significant role in daily life. Capturing both classical beauty and modernity within its frame, this photograph encapsulates not only architectural brilliance but also transports us into a time where busy streets were teeming with activity. It serves as a visual reminder of how London has evolved over centuries while still retaining its unique charm. Ellis's artistic vision skillfully brings together elements from different periods - an eighteenth-century mansion house amidst twentieth-century traffic - creating an intriguing juxtaposition that invites viewers to explore both history and progress within one captivating image.
