EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Central Criminal Court, also known as Old Bailey, situated in the heart of London. The image, taken from Holborn Viaduct in 1910 by the renowned photographer Harry Bedford Lemere, showcases the imposing neoclassical building that replaced the infamous Newgate Prison. Old Bailey has a rich history dating back to the 16th century, making it one of the oldest and most significant criminal courts in England. The present structure, designed by Sydney J. Mountford and opened in 1907, is a testament to the architectural grandeur of the Edwardian era. Its grand façade, with its Corinthian columns and intricate stonework, exudes a sense of authority and solemnity. The Old Bailey has played a pivotal role in London's criminal justice system, hosting high-profile trials and shaping the city's legal landscape. The image of the court, with its towering presence against the London skyline, is a poignant reminder of the historical significance and continued importance of the institution. The photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere, is a valuable historical document that transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of London's criminal justice system. The intricacies of the architectural details, the bustling cityscape in the background, and the sense of history that permeates the image make it a captivating and thought-provoking piece of visual history.
