EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of South Kensington in the 1930s. From a low-flying aeroplane, we are granted an aerial view of this iconic London neighborhood. The V&A Museum stands proudly at its heart, named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert who played instrumental roles in its founding. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice the Science Museum on Exhibition Road leading towards the serene beauty of Kensington Gardens. In the center, we catch sight of the main entrance to the V&A Museum on Cromwell Road, inviting visitors into its world-renowned collection. To the right stands Brompton Oratory with its magnificent architecture representing Christianity's presence amidst this urban landscape. This snapshot captures not only buildings but also history and culture intertwined within each street and lane. The area itself was laid out by Prince Albert as part of his vision for the Great Exhibition held in 1851. It is no wonder that this photograph was included in "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, showcasing both architectural marvels and historical significance. Through this monochrome lens, we are transported back to a time when South Kensington thrived with life and innovation. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still preserving their heritage for generations to come.
