EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of London in the 1920s. The image, captured by artist Joel from the roof of the Royal Exchange, provides a unique perspective on one of Britain's most iconic financial institutions - the Bank. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment of transition and transformation. The Rotunda, which once housed the first Stock Exchange, lies in ruins on the left side of the frame. Its dilapidated state serves as a poignant reminder of past glory and resilience amidst change. The construction site visible in front hints at an ongoing renovation project that seeks to revitalize this historic location. It symbolizes progress and adaptation within England's finance industry during this era. Joel's expert use of monochrome photography adds depth and texture to every detail captured within this print. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both architectural grandeur and decay simultaneously. Published as part of "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal period for both London and its financial sector. It transports us back to an age where ruins coexisted with modernity, reminding us that even amidst change, history remains etched into our urban landscapes. Through Joel's lens, we are invited to reflect upon how cities evolve over time while appreciating their enduring beauty regardless of their current state or future potential.
