EDITORS COMMENTS
The GPO radio tower in London, a magnificent architectural marvel of the 1960s, takes on an intriguing twist in this photograph. Captured on the 23rd of January 1964 using a convex mirror, the iconic BT Tower appears to defy gravity as it leans gracefully towards the sky. This unique perspective adds an element of surprise and wonder to an already remarkable landmark. The towering structure stands tall amidst a bustling cityscape, its sleek curves and modern design commanding attention from all who pass by. The skilled photographer behind this image skillfully plays with our perception, bending reality through clever photographic tricks. In the backdrop, we catch a glimpse of other buildings that stand witness to this optical illusion; their straight lines contrasting against the tower's gentle curve. A lone man can be seen nearby, perhaps captivated by this extraordinary sight or simply going about his daily routine unaware of how his presence adds scale and depth to the composition. This vintage print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back in time to an era when architectural innovation was at its peak. It serves as a reminder that even familiar landmarks can surprise us with their hidden secrets when viewed through different lenses – both literally and metaphorically.
