EDITORS COMMENTS
The Daily Express Building in Fleet Street stands tall and proud, a symbol of the bustling media scene in 1930s London. Designed by architect Owen Williams, this architectural marvel showcases a stunning blend of black vitrolite and clear glass panels set in chromium frames, exuding an air of sophistication and modernity. Once a derelict structure, it was Lord Beaverbrook who saw its potential and transformed it into the powerhouse that would dominate British press during those times. With his vision and leadership, The Daily Express became the newspaper with the highest circulation in the country. This print captures not only the exterior beauty of this iconic building but also hints at the vibrant street scene surrounding it. Amidst busy London life, journalists hurriedly make their way to report on breaking news stories while pedestrians pass by unknowingly becoming part of history. The art deco design elements are evident throughout - clean lines, geometric shapes, and a sense of grandeur that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of an era caught between two world wars. It serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertain times, human creativity can flourish. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where architecture met journalism head-on; where innovation merged seamlessly with tradition. This photograph is not just about bricks and mortar but represents an era when Fleet Street reigned supreme as the heartland of British media.
