EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of 1920s London, showcasing two iconic monuments against the backdrop of a bustling city street. The print, titled "Two Monuments of London" is an advertisement for the esteemed Hotel Cecil in 1925. In the foreground stands Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk that has become a symbol of cultural exchange between Egypt and Britain. Its imposing presence commands attention as it rises from Victoria Embankment, illuminated by the glow of nearby street lamps. The hotel itself is a magnificent architectural marvel with its grand windows aglow, casting warm light onto the busy road below. Nestled amidst other buildings in Westminster, this historic establishment exudes elegance and charm. The image beautifully captures both the timeless allure of ancient Egypt and the vibrant energy of early 20th-century London. It transports viewers to a bygone era when travel was still considered a luxurious adventure. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded not only of our fascination with history but also how advertising has evolved over time. This piece serves as a testament to W Welsh's artistic talent and his ability to capture both beauty and intrigue within one frame. With each glance at this photograph, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what it would have been like to walk along those streets in 1925 – where tradition met modernity under twinkling lights on Victoria Embankment.
