EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of London at night. The focal point of the image is the Cenotaph, standing tall and solemn in Whitehall. The Cenotaph, a symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives in war, is beautifully illuminated against the dark backdrop of the city. The photographer, Harold Burdekin, skillfully captures the nocturnal atmosphere with his gravure printing technique. Every detail is brought to life through this medium, showcasing the intricate lighting and shadows that define London's nightscape. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration in "London Night" by John Morrison and Harold Burdekin, published by Collins in 1934. It serves as a historical document from a time when London was still recovering from World War I and on the brink of another devastating conflict. As we gaze upon this image today, it transports us back to a different era - one filled with history and significance. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of turmoil and serves as a powerful reminder to never forget our past. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Look and Learn. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers even after all these years.
