EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast between Old Holborn in 1890 and its present-day view, offering a glimpse into London's ever-evolving landscape. The photograph, taken by an English photographer of the 20th century, captures the essence of history and change. In the image from 1890, we are transported back to a bygone era as we witness Holborn's past glory. The architecture stands tall and proud, reflecting the grandeur of Victorian times. The bustling streets tell tales of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives amidst a backdrop of ornate buildings. Fast forward to today, and we see how time has transformed this iconic street. While some remnants of its former self remain intact, modernity has left its mark on Holborn. Skyscrapers now dominate the skyline, symbolizing progress and development in London's architectural journey. This print serves as a visual reminder that cities are living entities constantly shaped by human hands. It encapsulates both nostalgia for what once was and excitement for what lies ahead. As Harold Clunn aptly captured in his book "London Rebuilt 1897-1927" it is through photographs like these that we can appreciate how our surroundings have evolved over time. With historical significance at its core, this image offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on London's rich heritage while contemplating the continuous cycle of growth and transformation that defines urban landscapes worldwide.
