Big Pong - A Glimpse into London's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Otto Herschan in 1862, transports us back to a significant moment in the history of Church Street, Shoreditch, London. The image depicts the aftermath of a devastating gas explosion during the construction of a middle level sewer. Timber struts lay scattered across the scene as witnesses survey the destruction. The sheer scale of this incident is evident from the collapsed structure and debris strewn about. It serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by Victorian engineers and the dangers they encountered while shaping our modern cities. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to appreciate their efforts amidst adversity. Herschan's choice to present this photograph in landscape format emphasizes not only the physical dimensions but also captures an atmosphere filled with intrigue and curiosity. The absence of color further enhances its historical significance, transporting viewers directly into that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, we are reminded that beneath our bustling streets lie hidden stories waiting to be discovered. This particular image offers a glimpse into London's past—a testament to human resilience and determination in overcoming obstacles for progress.
