EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1942, capturing a slice of history in Worcester. The focus of the image is the grand entrance to the Corn Exchange on Angel Street, adorned with an array of advertisements and promotional posters that reflect the era's vibrant culture. The Victorian architecture stands tall and proud, showcasing its impressive portico with Tuscan pilasters and columns. Pedestrians can be seen passing by, their presence adding a sense of liveliness to this snapshot frozen in time. As we delve deeper into the details, we notice various intriguing elements within this photograph. Amongst the numerous adverts displayed on the building's facade are calls to action such as "Lift The Ban On The Daily Worker" and endorsements for Perenox products. Additionally, Henry Coombs & Smith Auctioneers make their mark known through their prominent signage. This image not only captures a moment from daily life during World War II but also serves as a testament to Worcester's rich architectural heritage. George Bernard Mason skillfully immortalizes this scene through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
