EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful print captures the infamous London fog that blanketed the city in a thick layer of smog, stretching over an area of twenty miles. The image depicts the pollution from the bustling city, with chimney smoke and industrial emissions combining to create a dense and murky haze.
Dating back to 1847, this historical photograph serves as a stark reminder of the environmental impact of urbanization. The smog seen here is a result of still, moist weather conditions that allowed for the accumulation of pollutants in the air. This phenomenon known as smog tends to form in densely populated areas where there is a large amount of industrial activity.
The black and white tones add to the eerie atmosphere captured in this image, showcasing how pollution can transform a once clear sky into a murky blanket covering an entire city. Despite its beauty from an artistic perspective, this London fog serves as a poignant visual representation of the detrimental effects of human activity on our environment.
As we reflect on this piece from Mary Evans Prints Online, it reminds us of our responsibility to protect our planet and strive towards cleaner and more sustainable practices for future generations.
