EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Monument of London, c1685" as it stood in the 1920s. The image comes from the book "Londoners Then and Now As Pictured By Their Contemporaries" edited by Geoffrey Holme, which offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels of Britain's capital city. The monument itself was erected to commemorate the Great Fire of London in 1666. Against a cloudy sky, this monochrome photograph captures the grandeur of this Doric column that stands tall amidst the bustling cityscape. In the background, we see people going about their day, adding a sense of scale and liveliness to the scene. The print evokes a sense of nostalgia for early 20th-century London, with its atmospheric charm and timeless beauty. It transports us back to an era when literature and art flourished alongside urban development. While we do not know who took this particular photograph or who appears in it, we can appreciate how it encapsulates both male and female figures against this iconic landmark. This image serves as a testament to human resilience in overcoming adversity like that faced during the Great Fire. As viewers gaze upon this historic engraving brought to life through photography, they are reminded of London's rich heritage and its enduring ability to captivate generations across time.
