EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a distorted view of Nelson's Column in London, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century. The image showcases a unique perspective on this iconic landmark, with its reflection twisted and contorted through a glass mirror. The distortion creates an intriguing visual effect that adds humor and amusement to the scene. The postcard, dating back to the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into history and serves as a comical reminder of the era. It combines elements of British culture with references to alcohol, drink, and medicine. The presence of Asklepios, the Greek god associated with healing and medicine, further emphasizes this connection. The print not only entertains but also highlights the cultural significance of drinking in both German and British societies during that time period. It playfully explores stereotypes surrounding alcohol consumption while showcasing the influence of German culture in Northern Germany. As we admire this distorted view captured through the lens of an English photographer's camera, we are reminded of how art can provide us with glimpses into different historical periods while offering amusing commentary on societal norms. This image is part of a private collection preserved for generations to come thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art prints like these.
