EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant era of 1951 in South Bank, London. The image showcases an iconic work in progress on the magnificent 300 ft vertical Skylon Feature, which became a highlight of the renowned Festival of Britain. The Skylon Feature was a towering structure that symbolized innovation and progress during this post-war period. Its sleek design and impressive height made it a true marvel for both locals and visitors alike. In this snapshot, we witness the dedication of a man working diligently on its construction, showcasing the determination and craftsmanship that went into creating such an architectural masterpiece. The date stamps on the photograph reveal that it was taken by staff photographer Greenwell on February 26th, 1951, while being documented for historical purposes by DM (possibly referring to Daily Mirror) two days later. This particular print is labeled as B935/5 from Mirrorpix's collection. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where creativity flourished amidst rebuilding efforts after World War II. It serves as a reminder of how artistry can transcend generations and leave an indelible mark on society's collective memory.
