This print by James O. Davies takes us on a visual journey through time and artistry. Captured within the walls of the prestigious University of Birmingham's Barber Institute of Fine Arts, this image showcases an exquisite detail of a staircase that exudes elegance and sophistication. The focus lies on the side view of a beautifully crafted stair rail, showcasing intricate metalwork that is characteristic of the Art Deco era. The ream blue painted stair adds a touch of vibrancy to the overall composition, while also highlighting its historical significance. Dating back to the 1930s, this staircase stands as a testament to both architectural brilliance and artistic mastery. Its presence in the Barber Institutes lecture theatre adds an air of grandeur to this academic space, inviting students and visitors alike to appreciate not only its functionality but also its aesthetic appeal. James O. Davies' keen eye for detail captures every curve and line with precision, allowing viewers to truly immerse themselves in this stunning piece of history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time - imagining scholars ascending these steps towards knowledge or perhaps artists seeking inspiration within these hallowed halls. In preserving moments like these through his lens, Davies reminds us all that beauty can be found even in seemingly ordinary places – if only we take the time to look closely enough.
