EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating piece of London's history. Taken in the 1930s, it showcases elm trunks that were unearthed near St. Anne's, Soho - remnants of wooden waterpipes used to transport fresh water during the 17th century. These unique conduits were discovered during the construction of Shaftesbury Avenue in Westminster, shedding light on an ingenious engineering solution from centuries past. The image portrays a landscape filled with architectural marvels and natural beauty. The entrance gate stands tall against the backdrop of historic buildings, inviting us to explore this hidden treasure beneath our bustling city streets. The excavation site reveals a glimpse into London's rich heritage as we witness these ancient tree trunks repurposed for such an essential purpose. Arthur St John Adcock expertly curated this photograph as part of his publication "Wonderful London" showcasing the wonders and curiosities found throughout Britain's capital city. Paterson skillfully captured this moment in time, emphasizing both the grandeur of architecture and nature's resilience. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are reminded of how human ingenuity has evolved over centuries while also appreciating the enduring strength and adaptability found within nature itself. This print serves as a testament to London's ever-changing landscape and its ability to preserve fragments from bygone eras for future generations to admire and learn from.
