EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at Smithfield Market in the City of London, just two months before the outbreak of World War Two in July 1939. The image showcases the fine exterior of the market on a sunny summer day, with an empty street and no signs of bustling trade or traffic.
The historical significance of this photograph is palpable, as it offers a glimpse into life in Britain during the pre-war era of the 1930s. The woman walking along the sidewalk adds a touch of human presence to an otherwise deserted scene, hinting at the impending chaos and uncertainty that would soon engulf the world.
Smithfield Market itself stands as a symbol of resilience and endurance, having weathered many storms throughout its long history. In this peaceful moment captured by Rights Managed, one can almost hear echoes of past voices and footsteps echoing through its walls.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from another time, we are reminded of how quickly our world can change and how important it is to cherish moments of tranquility and beauty whenever we find them. This photograph serves as both a window into history and a timeless reminder to appreciate every fleeting moment we have.
