EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of street musicians in London during the 1920s. The image showcases a wandering harpist and violinist, skillfully entertaining theatre-goers waiting in the pit queue. This illustration is taken from "Wonderful London" an edited volume by Arthur St John Adcock, published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927. The two musicians are dressed impeccably, wearing hats that add to their charm and elegance. They stand on a city street pavement, surrounded by bustling activity. Their stringed instruments - the harp and violin - create a harmonious duet that fills the air with melodious tunes. The scene exudes an aura of nostalgia as it transports us back to a vibrant era when live music filled every corner of London's streets. Passersby pause to listen, captivated by the talent displayed before them. This photogravure beautifully captures not only the musicians but also provides glimpses into early 20th-century British fashion and culture. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of music to bring joy and unite people from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but appreciate how these talented men brought artistry to everyday life on this busy avenue in London nearly a century ago.
