EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Oxford Street, one of London's most iconic thoroughfares. Taken from two different perspectives, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the transformation and development that occurred between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The first image showcases Oxford Street looking west from Oxford Circus, revealing a bustling street filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. The architectural details of the buildings lining the street are beautifully preserved in this historic snapshot. In contrast, the second image portrays Oxford Street looking east from Orchard Street. Here, we witness a shift towards modernity as new structures emerge alongside older ones. This juxtaposition highlights London's ever-changing landscape and its continuous efforts to rebuild and adapt to societal needs. Photographed by an English photographer during the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection that has been carefully curated to illustrate Harold Clunn's book "London Rebuilt 1897-1927". It serves as both a visual record of historical change and an exploration of architectural development in one of London's most prominent areas. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and undeniable charm, this print invites us to reflect on how time shapes our cities while reminding us of the enduring allure that makes Oxford Street so special.
