EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, it showcases a handsome corner block that exudes timeless charm. The image is part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for "The Practical Retail Draper" a comprehensive guide for the drapery and allied trades written by Fred W Burgess around 1912. In this snapshot, we catch a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century retail. The corner block stands proudly, its elegant architecture drawing attention from passersby. It serves as both a testament to history and an inspiration for modern shop owners seeking to create eye-catching displays. The photograph transports us back to an era when textiles played a vital role in fashioning society's identity. It reminds us of the importance placed on clothing during this time period, with drapers playing a pivotal role in providing quality fabrics to customers. As we admire this stunning image, we are reminded that even though times change, some elements remain constant - like the allure of well-crafted window displays that entice shoppers inside. This photograph encapsulates not only the beauty of historic architecture but also evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about our past.
