EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Charles William Prickett takes us back to the bustling streets of Southwark in the 1930s. Standing at Montague Close, we are treated to a picturesque view looking east along Winchester Street towards the magnificent central tower of Southwark Cathedral. The architectural grandeur of the cathedral is beautifully captured, its towering presence dominating the skyline. As our gaze travels down Winchester Street, we notice a horse-drawn cart parked on the road outside Borough Market to the right. This charming detail adds an element of nostalgia, reminding us of a time when horses were still an integral part of daily life in London. Prickett's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this historic moment frozen in time. The play between light and shadow creates depth and texture, enhancing our appreciation for both the architectural beauty and everyday life unfolding on these vibrant streets. Through this evocative image, we are transported back to an era where tradition met progress; where centuries-old landmarks like Southwark Cathedral coexisted with bustling markets and horse-drawn carts. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is not just about buildings but also about people - their stories interwoven within every brick and cobblestone. Charles William Prickett's photograph captures not only a specific place but also a sense of timelessness that continues to resonate with viewers today.
