EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse of Buckingham Palace in London, England during its transformation. The iconic front facade of the palace is shrouded in scaffolding, indicating extensive construction work taking place behind the scenes. In 1913, during the months of August, September, and October, dedicated workers toiled day and night to complete the reconstruction while the Court was away from London. The image showcases not only the grandeur of British royalty but also highlights the significance of this landmark as a symbol of power and history. Despite being hidden by scaffolding, Buckingham Palace still emanates an aura that draws people from all walks of life. The presence of a crowd adds depth to this snapshot from the past – men and women alike are captivated by witnessing such an extraordinary moment in time. The photograph also pays tribute to Sir Aston Webb's architectural prowess as he led these building works at one of Britain's most prestigious locations. His vision for transforming Buckingham Palace into its current form is evident even amidst temporary construction chaos. Preserved within this print lies a fascinating chapter in history when tradition met progress. It serves as a reminder that even monumental structures like Buckingham Palace require constant care and adaptation to withstand the test of time.
