EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to October 1919, capturing the grandeur of the Alhambra Theatre in Leicester Square, London. The Charing Cross Road entrance stands proudly, inviting theatergoers into a world of enchantment and entertainment. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as we imagine the bustling crowds that once filled these streets, eagerly awaiting their turn to experience the magic within those walls. The architecture is strikingly beautiful, with intricate details adorning every corner. Sadly, this magnificent structure met its demise in 1936 when it was demolished to make way for the Odeon cinema. Yet through this photograph, we are able to preserve a piece of history and appreciate the significance that this theater held for generations past. The monochromatic format adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical value. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years while also reminding us of our connection to those who came before us. As we gaze upon this portrait from Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we can almost hear echoes of applause and laughter emanating from within those walls. It invites us to reflect on our own love affair with art and culture while paying homage to an iconic landmark that shaped London's theatrical landscape forever.
