EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of shoppers waiting outside Selfridges department store on London's iconic Oxford Street for the sale to begin. The image, taken in 1926, depicts a bustling scene of anxious crowds gathered around the store's grand clock tower, their eyes fixed on the clock face as they count down the minutes until the sale starts. The store's ornate facade, adorned with intricate architectural details and elegant signage, looms large in the background, a testament to the historical significance of this renowned shopping destination. The scene is reminiscent of the bustling trade and commerce that has long characterized Oxford Street, one of London's most famous shopping districts. The shoppers, dressed in their best attire, exude a sense of determination and excitement, their expressions reflecting the thrill of the hunt for bargains and the promise of new acquisitions. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when shopping was a social event and the start of a sale was an occasion to be celebrated. Despite the passage of time, the scene remains remarkably familiar to us today. The tradition of eager shoppers waiting for sales to begin continues to this day, a testament to the enduring allure of shopping and the role it plays in our lives. This photograph is not only a historical document, but also a poignant reminder of the human desire to connect, to find value, and to mark the passage of time through the simple act of shopping.
