EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "London at night: Brompton" takes us back to the 1930s, immersing us in the mysterious allure of nocturnal London. The photographer, Harold Burdekin, masterfully captures the essence of this vibrant city after dark. The image showcases Brompton, a district that comes alive under the cloak of darkness. The streets are shrouded in shadows, with only dimly lit street lamps casting an eerie glow on the cobblestone roads. The absence of color adds to the atmospheric ambiance, emphasizing the contrast between light and dark. Burdekin's photograph was originally created as an illustration for "London Night" a book by John Morrison and himself published in 1934. This particular print is a gravure reproduction from that time period. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be transported into a different era. It serves as a reminder of how London has evolved over the years while still retaining its timeless charm. This historical piece not only captures our imagination but also offers insight into London's rich past. It reminds us of how darkness can transform familiar surroundings into something entirely new and intriguing. Whether you're an admirer of photography or simply fascinated by history, this remarkable image is sure to captivate your senses and transport you to another world - one where London reveals its secrets under cover of nightfall.
