EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of London's bustling Leicester Square, the Odeon Cinema stands proudly, bathed in the soft glow of the night. John Maltby's captivating photograph, BB87_03702, transports us back in time to 1937, when the cinema was a beacon of urban entertainment. The atmospheric scene is set by the dimly lit lamp post, casting long shadows on the pavement as it illuminates the cinema's iconic art deco façade. The cinema's marquee, adorned with the latest film titles, beckons to passersby, inviting them to step inside and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The reflection of the cinema's neon signs in the puddles on the ground adds an extra layer of depth and intrigue to the image. The night sky, dotted with stars, serves as a breathtaking backdrop to the urban scene. The gentle hum of traffic in the background adds to the sense of tranquility, creating a moment of stillness amidst the chaos of the city.
