EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the imposing presence of the Industry Industrial Power Station Cegb in London during the 1970s. The towering chimneys belch out thick plumes of smoke, creating a stark contrast against the serene waters of the River Thames. Boats dotting the riverbank serve as a reminder of the bustling activity that surrounds this industrial behemoth.
The oil-fired power station, located on the south bank of the river, symbolizes both progress and pollution. The billowing clouds of smoke hang heavy in the air, casting a dirty veil over the once pristine skyline. Despite its grimy exterior, there is an undeniable sense of power and energy emanating from this historical site.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from April 1975, we are transported back to a time when industry reigned supreme and electricity was king. The Tate Modern Museum now stands on this hallowed ground, serving as a testament to London's ever-evolving landscape.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of our reliance on fossil fuels and their lasting impact on our environment. It challenges us to reflect on our past choices while inspiring us to strive for cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy for future generations.
