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.
