EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Union Street, Aberdeen in the 1960s. The artist behind this remarkable piece is CM Dixon, whose attention to detail and vibrant use of color bring this bustling street to life. Union Street holds great historical significance as a major thoroughfare and shopping destination in Aberdeen, Scotland. Designed by Charles Abercrombie in the early 19th century, this iconic street was constructed at a higher level to alleviate strain on the surrounding lower streets. However, its ambitious construction nearly pushed the city into bankruptcy. Nevertheless, Union Street stands tall as a testament to engineering prowess and urban planning. In this particular snapshot, we see an empty day on Union Street with pedestrians strolling along its wide lanes. A group of men can be seen walking together, adding a touch of liveliness to the scene. The image perfectly encapsulates both the charm of Scottish architecture and the vibrancy of city life during that era. CM Dixon's masterful composition allows us to step back in time and experience Aberdeen's rich history firsthand. This photograph serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while preserving their unique character—a true tribute to both artistry and heritage.
