EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast between two eras in London's history. The image on the left captures a mesmerizing view of Westminster in 1897, as seen from the iconic Victoria Tower. The grandeur of the historic buildings is evident, with their intricate architectural details standing tall against the sky. It transports us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages roamed the streets and gas lamps illuminated the night. In striking juxtaposition, on the right side of this print, we are presented with a present-day view of Parliament Street looking towards Whitehall. The monochrome filter adds an air of nostalgia to this modern scene, highlighting both continuity and change over time. As we compare these two images side by side, it becomes apparent how London has evolved through extensive rebuilding and development. This photograph is part of Harold Clunn's renowned work "London Rebuilt 1897-1927" which beautifully illustrates how architecture has transformed throughout this period. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability while honoring London's rich history. Through this thought-provoking composition, we are reminded that cities are living entities constantly evolving alongside society's needs and aspirations. This print invites us to reflect upon our own place within history while appreciating both old-world charm and contemporary progress in one frame.
