EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a general view of the City of London during the construction of the National Westminster Bank at Bishopsgate, taken from New Zealand House in Haymarket. The year was 1977, and this snapshot showcases the architectural prowess and bustling energy that defined London in the 1970s. In the foreground stands the iconic St Paul's Cathedral, its majestic dome reaching towards the sky as a testament to centuries of history. The focal point, however, is undoubtedly Tower 42 - originally known as NatWest Tower - which dominates the skyline with its imposing presence. This landmark building would go on to become one of London's most recognizable symbols. Its sleek design and towering height were a testament to modernity and progress. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an era where construction cranes dotted London's horizon and urban development was rapidly transforming both its physical landscape and economic potential. The juxtaposition between historical landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral and contemporary structures like Tower 42 encapsulates London's ability to seamlessly blend tradition with innovation. Alisdair MacDonald skillfully captured this momentous period through his lens, offering us a glimpse into a bygone era filled with ambition and growth. This print serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still preserving their unique character for generations to come.
