The Lair of the Law as Few Londoners Ever See It - The Temple and the Courts of Justice, c1935

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This aerial view captures a hidden side of London that few have ever witnessed. Taken in the 1930s, this print showcases the Aldwych area in Westminster from a unique perspective. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the block housing both the Australian High Commission and Indian High Commission at bottom left, symbolizing international connections amidst an architectural marvel. The focal point is undoubtedly St Clement Danes Church, majestically situated on its own island in the Strand. Its presence adds an ethereal touch to this bustling cityscape. As we gaze further into this remarkable image, our attention shifts towards the Royal Courts of Justice above and to the left - a testament to Britain's legal system. The monochrome palette enhances every detail captured by Arthur St John Adcock's lens for his publication "Wonderful London". This snapshot freezes time within a rapidly changing world. The roads and lanes weave together like intricate threads forming a tapestry of history. As we explore this mesmerizing scene, it becomes evident that religion plays an integral role in shaping London's landscape. Christianity stands tall with St Clement Danes Church serving as a beacon amid towering buildings representing law courts. Transported back to 1935 through this extraordinary photograph, we gain insight into not only London's architecture but also its rich cultural heritage. Let us cherish these glimpses into history that remind us how far we've come while honoring those who came before us.
