EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent statue entitled "Navigation" which proudly adorns the Port of London Authority building in Trinity Square, City of London. Designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Cooper and constructed between 1912 and 1922, this iconic structure served as the headquarters for the Port of London Authority until its sale in 1971. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the striking statue itself. Standing tall against a backdrop of architectural grandeur, "Navigation" exudes an air of authority and maritime prowess. Its intricate details are beautifully captured by S W Rawlings' lens, revealing every delicate curve and expression on its face. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at the historical significance it represents. The Port of London Authority played a vital role in shaping Britain's maritime industry during its heyday. This imposing building was once bustling with activity as ships from all corners of the globe docked here to unload their precious cargo. Today, while no longer serving its original purpose, this architectural gem stands as a testament to London's rich history and enduring legacy as one of Europe's most important ports. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change and industries evolve, our past remains etched into these structures that have witnessed centuries worth of stories unfold within their walls. S W Rawlings' masterful capture allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance embodied by this remarkable piece of architecture – a true treasure nestled within Trinity Square.
