EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blanket of White: Oxford Street Transformed by Winter's Grace, 1987 This evocative photograph captures the magical transformation of Oxford Street in central London during a heavy snowfall in 1987. The iconic thoroughfare, known for its bustling energy and commercial vibrancy, is here rendered still and serene under a pristine layer of snow. The natural phenomena of winter, with its quieting effect on the urban landscape, is on full display. The image features a classic London bus, its red livery standing out against the snowy backdrop, as it makes its way along the snow-covered route. A red double-decker Route Master bus, a symbol of the city's transport history, navigates the wintery conditions with ease, its passengers bundled up against the cold. A red London taxi, or 'black cab,' is also visible, its distinctive shape and color contrasting with the snowy scene. The cab's roof is dusted with snow, adding to the wintery charm of the photograph. The photograph also reveals the quiet beauty of the snow-covered trees and buildings, their usual hustle and bustle replaced by a tranquil stillness. The weather event, a rare occurrence in the urban landscape, has brought a sense of wonder and enchantment to the usually bustling Oxford Street. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the transformative power of winter and its ability to bring a sense of calm and beauty to even the most urban of landscapes.
