EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tower Bridge open and closed, London, 1926-1927" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of early 20th century Britain. The artist behind this remarkable piece is McLeish, who beautifully captures the iconic Tower Bridge in both its open and closed positions. The image showcases a tugboat gracefully navigating the River Thames beneath the towering structure. In one frame, we witness the bridge majestically raised to allow tall ships to pass through while pedestrians eagerly await on either side. In another frame, we see it closed down as road traffic resumes its flow across this architectural marvel. Published in Volume I of "Wonderful London" by Arthur St John Adcock in 1926-1927, this photogravure print transports us to an era when water transport played a significant role in connecting different parts of England's capital city. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia and highlights the intricate details of each element captured within the frame. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded not only of Tower Bridge's grandeur but also its significance as a symbol of London's rich heritage. This print serves as a testament to McLeish's artistic talent and his ability to immortalize moments that continue to captivate viewers even decades later.
