EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing juxtaposition of tradition and modernity in London's St Johns Wood. Standing tall amidst the serene surroundings is the remarkable Edward Onslow Ford memorial, an exquisite bronze sculpture that demands attention. The focal point of this masterpiece is a seated female figure, her graceful form exuding both strength and vulnerability. What makes this photograph truly unique is the unexpected detail adorning the statue - a bra delicately placed upon her chest. This subtle addition challenges societal norms and provokes contemplation about femininity, empowerment, and self-expression. The composition expertly frames the statue against a backdrop of architectural wonders. An imposing obelisk rises majestically behind it, symbolizing timelessness and endurance. To its right stands a vintage lamp standard, casting warm light on this enigmatic scene. Photographer John Gay skillfully captured this moment in 1973, freezing it in time for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, he immortalized not only a work of art but also an era marked by social change and artistic experimentation. This print from Historic England invites viewers to delve into their own interpretations while marveling at the beauty that lies within every corner of our urban landscapes. It serves as a reminder that even statues can challenge conventions and inspire dialogue about what it means to be human in an ever-evolving world.
