EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Passing View of Somerset House From The Strand, c1935" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London in the 1930s. Captured by Donald McLeish, this image showcases the magnificent architecture of Somerset House as seen from The Strand. Somerset House, designed by Sir William Chambers, was originally constructed to house various public offices and institutions such as the Navy Board and the Royal Academy of Arts. Its construction began in 1776 and was completed by 1780. This neoclassical masterpiece stands tall with its grand arches and intricate architectural features. The photograph perfectly captures a passing moment on The Strand, a vibrant avenue filled with life and activity. It offers a glimpse into the cityscape of London during that era - a mix of historic buildings blending seamlessly with modernity. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this scene, emphasizing both the timeless beauty of Somerset House's design and the enduring charm of London itself. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the sounds of footsteps echoing through its courtyard and imagine ourselves strolling down this iconic street. Donald McLeish's skillful composition transports us back in time while Arthur St John Adcock's publication "Wonderful London" provides historical context for our appreciation. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and artistic vision captured within one frame.
