EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1920s. The image showcases St Paul's churchyard, a serene oasis nestled amidst the vibrant cityscape. Towering above it all is the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral, its grandeur and architectural beauty commanding attention. Intriguingly, a tollgate stands prominently in the foreground, serving as a reminder of an era when such barriers regulated access to roads. It symbolizes both progress and tradition intersecting within this dynamic metropolis. The scene is alive with activity - people can be seen strolling along the road, going about their daily lives. The railings lining the street add structure to this urban landscape while also providing glimpses of nature beyond. Whiffin's masterful composition captures not only physical elements but also evokes a sense of spirituality that permeates through St Paul's Churchyard. This religious connection is further emphasized by Arthur St John Adcock's editorial contribution from "Wonderful London" which adds depth to our understanding of this historical moment. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time; we feel connected to those who walked these very streets almost a century ago. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst change and progress, there are enduring landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral that anchor us to our past and shape our collective identity as Londoners.
