EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Stepney, London in the mid-20th century. Taken by renowned photographer Eric de Mare between 1945 and 1960, it showcases a quaint corner of Swedenborg Square. The image transports us back to an era when urban residential areas were filled with character and charm. In this snapshot, we see a pram peacefully parked on the pavement outside one of the houses. It symbolizes a sense of domesticity and family life that was prevalent during those times. The detached house standing proudly on the corner adds to the picturesque scene, exuding an air of elegance amidst its surroundings. Eric de Mare's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into everyday life in Stepney at that time. We can imagine children playing in nearby streets or neighbors engaging in friendly conversations over garden fences. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, we are reminded of how much our cities have evolved over decades. Yet, it also serves as a reminder that certain elements endure - like community spirit and cherished homes - which continue to shape our urban landscapes today. Step into history with this remarkable piece by Eric de Mare; let it transport you to a simpler time where Swedenborg Square stood as an emblematic representation of London's vibrant residential neighborhoods.
