EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Putney High Street OFH01_01_01_f05_06" captures a slice of early 20th-century London in all its bustling glory. Taken by the talented photographer William O Field, this image showcases Putney High Street as seen from Putney Bridge, with St Mary's Church standing proudly in the left foreground. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transport along the road bridge. The Victorian architecture lining both sides of the street adds to the charm and character of this urban landscape. One can almost imagine hearing the clatter of hooves on cobblestones and catching glimpses through shop windows filled with Edwardian-era wares. Despite being captured over a century ago, there is an undeniable sense of vibrancy in this photograph. The streets are alive with activity - pedestrians going about their daily routines while traffic flows steadily through Putney High Street. It serves as a testament to London's enduring spirit and constant evolution throughout history. William O Field has masterfully immortalized this snapshot in time for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. This print offers viewers a unique glimpse into early 1900s London, showcasing not only its architectural heritage but also capturing the essence of everyday life during that period.
