EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by John Gay between 1960 and 1972, showcases the breathtaking interior of the St. Pancras Hotel in London, specifically the grand staircase area of the Midland Grand Hotel. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian era, with its intricately designed Gothic architecture and ornate stone vaulted ceiling. The oblique angle of the shot draws our attention to the stunning details of the staircase, each step adorned with intricate carvings and a sense of grandeur that is both imposing and inviting. The play of light and shadow on the stone walls adds depth and texture to the scene, while the delicate arches of the ceiling create a sense of height and openness. The Midland Grand Hotel at St. Pancras was originally designed by the renowned architect George Gilbert Scott and opened in 1876. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of the building, which has been meticulously preserved and restored over the years. The image invites us to imagine the bustling activity of the hotel's grand entrance hall, with travelers from all corners of the world making their way up the staircase, each step bringing them closer to their next adventure. The St. Pancras Hotel remains a symbol of London's rich history and a must-see destination for visitors to the city today.
