EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ethel Davies takes us back to the enchanting streets of Mayfair in 2005. The entrance to Mount Street Gardens, dating back to 1889, is guarded by two iconic red telephone boxes, adding a touch of traditional charm to this historic neighborhood. Once a burial ground for St George's Church in Hanover Square, this serene green space has transformed over the years into a peaceful haven amidst the bustling cityscape. Ethel Davies skillfully captures the juxtaposition between the old and new as we witness the fusion of history and modernity. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur of Mayfair's architecture while highlighting these distinctive telephone boxes that have become synonymous with British culture. Their vibrant red color stands out against the muted tones of London's exterior, drawing our attention towards this unique entrance. Davies' photograph not only freezes a moment in time but also invites us to reflect on how places evolve throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even within an ever-changing city like London, remnants of its past can still be found if one knows where to look. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time and reminded of Mayfair's rich heritage. Ethel Davies has masterfully captured both nostalgia and beauty within her lens, creating a visual masterpiece that will continue to captivate viewers for generations to come.
