EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to early 20th century London, specifically to the grand opening of Debenham and Freebodys' new premises on Wigmore Street in Cavendish Square. The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Menpes, Mortimer Ludington (1855-1938) bring life to the bustling scene captured within. The image showcases a magnificent department store that stands proudly amidst the elegant architecture of West London. Its imposing facade exudes sophistication and promises a world of luxury within its walls. This postcard from a private collection offers us a glimpse into an era when shopping was not just an errand but an experience. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we can imagine fashionable ladies strolling through the doors with parasols in hand, eager to peruse the latest fashions and exquisite homeware. We envision gentlemen donning top hats as they enter, seeking out tailored suits or perhaps indulging in some fine cigars. Debenham and Freebodys' new premises symbolize progress and prosperity during a time when London was at the height of its cultural and economic power. It serves as a reminder of how commerce has shaped our cities throughout history. This remarkable image captures both the architectural splendor of Wigmore Street's Cavendish Square neighborhood and the allure of Debenham's iconic department store - forever frozen in time for us to admire.
