EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare moment in history - the devastating flood waters that engulfed the moat at the Tower of London in 1928. Taken by an unknown creator, this image showcases the worst Thames flood within living memory. Ordinarily used as a football ground, the Tower moat transformed into a vast expanse of water, reflecting the fortifications and bridges surrounding it. The sheer power and magnitude of nature's force is evident in this monochrome masterpiece. Featured in "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. in 1935, this photograph serves as a reminder of both Britain's geographical features and its resilience during times of adversity. It transports us back to a time when weather conditions could drastically alter landscapes and disrupt daily life. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded not only of the historical significance but also appreciate its artistic value. The composition highlights both architectural beauty and natural elements coming together harmoniously, creating an unusual sight that captivates tourists from around the world even today. This print allows us to travel back to London's past, immersing ourselves in its rich history while marveling at how mankind has adapted to overcome challenges posed by Mother Nature herself.
