EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the old Strand and Holywell Street, just before their demolition in 1900. The image showcases the bustling streets of London, with a glimpse into its architectural transformation. As we look eastward along The Strand, our eyes are drawn to the majestic Australia House standing tall amidst the surrounding buildings. The photographer, an English artist from the 20th century whose identity remains unknown, skillfully captures this historic moment. This photograph is part of a private collection and has been preserved as a testament to London's ever-changing landscape. The juxtaposition between old and new is evident in this picture. It serves as a reminder of how cities constantly evolve over time. The demolished structures make way for progress and development while preserving fragments of history within their foundations. Harold Clunn's book "London Rebuilt 1897-1927" features this illustration as one among many others that document the city's architectural metamorphosis during that era. Through these photographs, viewers can witness both late 19th-century charm and early 20th-century innovation coexisting side by side. As we delve into this mesmerizing snapshot from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where change was inevitable but also celebrated – an everlasting tribute to London's rich past and promising future.
