EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Romanesque front of the iconic Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London. Taken around 1935 by Donald McLeish, this image beautifully captures the architectural grandeur of one of Britain's most renowned landmarks. Designed by Francis Fowke and Alfred Waterhouse, the museum officially opened its doors in 1881. With its impressive facade and intricate details, it stands as a testament to Victorian-era architecture. The museum is home to an astounding collection of 80 million items spanning various fields such as botany, entomology, mineralogy, paleontology, and zoology. The photograph was featured in "Wonderful London, Volume 3" edited by Arthur St John Adcock. Published in Fleetway House during the mid-1930s, this book aimed to showcase the beauty and diversity of England's capital city. In this monochrome snapshot captured on Cromwell Road, we can see pedestrians strolling along the avenue adjacent to the museum. The image offers a glimpse into London life during that era while highlighting both historical significance and architectural brilliance. This remarkable print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only Donald McLeish's skillful composition but also serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage preserved within these walls for generations to come.
