EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of history frozen in time. Taken by Henry Dixon in 1884, it showcases the corner of Fore Street and Milton Street, which now serves as the location for the iconic Barbican complex. Part of a series of 120 photographs by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, this image documents buildings that were at risk of demolition during that era. It offers us a rare opportunity to witness the architectural beauty and charm of a bygone era. The photograph reveals an urban scene from the 17th century, showcasing a wooden facade with shingled exteriors. The timber structures exude Victorian elegance while hinting at their age through subtle signs of wear and tear. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another time, we are transported back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these streets and gas lamps illuminated the night sky. The atmosphere is palpable; one can almost hear the bustling soundscape that once filled these historic lanes. Preserved within this print is not just an image but also a story waiting to be discovered. It invites us to reflect on how cities evolve over time while reminding us to appreciate our heritage and protect our architectural treasures. This piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to connect with history on multiple levels - through its composition, subject matter, and cultural significance.
