EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Laurence Pountney Hill in London, circa 1900. The image beautifully captures the doorways of numbers 1 and 2 on this historic street. As we gaze upon the left-hand porch, adorned with intricate woodwork, our eyes are drawn to a small plaque displaying the date "1703" reminding us of the rich history that permeates every corner of this city. On the right side of the frame, two young boys can be seen engrossed in a game of marbles. Their carefree spirits add a touch of innocence to this snapshot frozen in time. It's as if they have momentarily escaped from their daily routines to indulge in some childhood fun amidst these grand buildings. The monochrome aesthetic lends an air of nostalgia to this scene, allowing us to imagine what life might have been like during those early years of the 20th century. This photograph is not just a mere depiction; it serves as a portal into another era - one where horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobbled lanes and gentlemen donned top hats while strolling along Laurence Pountney Hill. Preserved within its frame, this piece offers glimpses into both architectural marvels and simple pleasures enjoyed by past generations. A testament to London's enduring charm and timeless beauty, it invites us to explore its hidden stories etched within each building facade and doorway along Laurence Pountney Hill.
