EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the Festival of Britain in 1951, held in Lambeth, London. The focal point of this image is the magnificent sculpture of Orpheus by Heinz Henghes, proudly standing at the entrance to the Downstream section of the South Bank Exhibition site. Meticulously photographed by M W Parry, this archival masterpiece transports us back to an era filled with artistic grandeur and cultural celebration. The sculpture itself exudes a sense of enchantment and mystery as it pays homage to Greek mythology's legendary musician and poet, Orpheus. With his lyre in hand and eyes gazing into eternity, Orpheus seems poised to serenade visitors entering this remarkable exhibition space. As we delve deeper into this photograph's narrative, we are reminded of the significance behind such events as the Festival of Britain. It was a time when post-war Britain sought solace through creativity and innovation; a testament to resilience amidst adversity. M W Parry's expert lens captures not only the beauty of Heinz Henghes' sculptural masterpiece but also immortalizes an important chapter in British history. This print serves as a visual reminder that art has always played a pivotal role in shaping society and providing hope for brighter days ahead. In preserving this historic moment through photography, we are granted access to relive an extraordinary period where culture thrived against all odds – reminding us that even amidst challenges, human creativity knows no bounds.
