EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark contrast between Old Piccadilly and New Piccadilly, as seen from St James's Street in London. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases the historical transformation of this iconic area. In the foreground, we see Old Piccadilly with its charming Victorian architecture. The buildings exude a sense of grandeur and elegance, reflecting the style of late 19th-century London. As our gaze moves towards the background, however, we are greeted by a completely different scene. New Piccadilly emerges on the horizon, showcasing a dramatic shift in architectural design. Modern structures rise tall and sleek against the sky, representing early 20th-century progress and development. This juxtaposition highlights how London was rebuilt between 1897-1927 to accommodate its growing population and changing needs. The photograph is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder. It serves as an illustration for Harold Clunn's book "London Rebuilt" providing valuable insight into the city's history. As we observe this image, we can't help but marvel at how time has shaped these streetscapes. It reminds us that cities are living entities constantly evolving to meet new demands while preserving traces of their pasts.
