EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of York in the 1930s. The image showcases Bootham Bar, a magnificent medieval town gate that stands as a testament to the city's rich history. As we gaze upon this iconic structure, our eyes are drawn further into the frame where the grandeur of York Minster unfolds before us. Its towering spires pierce through the sky, exuding an air of majesty and spirituality. The composition is perfectly framed from the vantage point of City Art Gallery in Exhibition Square, offering a unique perspective on these architectural wonders. In the foreground, we catch a glimpse of St Mary's Abbey gateway, adding another layer of historical significance to this already awe-inspiring scene. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that people have always been captivated by these remarkable landmarks. A few figures can be seen strolling along nearby streets or pausing for a moment to take in their surroundings. This photograph not only captures physical structures but also serves as an archaeological treasure trove for those interested in studying Yorkshire's past. It encapsulates an era when architecture was celebrated and preserved with utmost care. J Dixon Scott's masterful lensmanship has immortalized this moment forever, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon York's enduring beauty and cultural heritage.
