EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1913. The iconic Trafalgar Square serves as the backdrop, with its Underground entrance and Admiralty Arch standing proudly behind. In stark contrast to today's busy traffic, the scene depicts a quieter era where bowler-hatted office workers leisurely make their way towards the tube station. The architectural beauty of Admiralty Arch is showcased, capturing its grandeur and significance within the cityscape. Lampposts line the avenue, casting a warm glow on this historic location. The image provides a glimpse into an earlier time when public transportation was still in its infancy but already playing an essential role in commuting for Londoners. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, it becomes evident that despite technological advancements and urban development, some elements remain timeless. Trafalgar Square continues to be a hub of activity and cultural significance while serving as a meeting point for locals and tourists alike. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this photograph offers us an intriguing window into London's past. It reminds us of how much has changed since then while also highlighting what endures throughout history - our constant need for efficient transport systems and vibrant public spaces that bring people together.
