EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Londres l'heure des mini-jupes" takes us back to the vibrant streets of London in the late 1960s. The image captures a lively scene at Trafalgar Square, where two iconic landmarks stand side by side - the National Gallery and the church of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields. The National Gallery, an architectural masterpiece dating back to 1722-1726, showcases its grandeur with Renaissance-Baroque styles. Its elegant facade is adorned with intricate decorations including capitals, columns, domes, and windows that exude a sense of artistic brilliance. On the other hand, the church of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields stands tall as a symbol of religious devotion from the eighteenth century. Its bell tower reaches for the sky while its pronaos welcomes visitors into its sacred space. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, we notice various elements that bring life to this bustling urban setting. A street lamp illuminates the surroundings while an inscription on a communication instrument catches our attention. The architecture seamlessly blends with nature as vegetation adds a touch of greenery to this concrete jungle. Transportation plays a significant role in shaping this cityscape; automobiles and buses navigate through busy streets filled with action and movement. In addition to capturing these scenes from land transportation, there is also evidence of low relief sculptures adorning buildings along the road avenue. Alinari's photograph transports us back in time to experience London during an era marked by social change and cultural revolution. It invites us to appreciate not only architectural marvels but also how they coexist harmoniously within their urban environment. This artwork serves as both documentation and celebration of London's rich history and enduring beauty.
