EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of St Andrews Street in Leith, Edinburgh, during the summer of 1947. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are instantly immersed in the vibrant atmosphere that once filled these historic cobblestone lanes. The image captures a moment of everyday life from the post-war era, offering a glimpse into the daily routines and interactions of its inhabitants. The street is alive with activity; pedestrians gracefully navigate their way through the crowd while bicycles and vintage cars traverse along its worn-out surface. The architecture lining both sides exudes an old-world charm, with traditional stone buildings adorned by quaint shopfronts displaying signs advertising various goods and services. In June 1947, Leith was undoubtedly undergoing a period of rebuilding and recovery after enduring the hardships brought about by World War II. Yet amidst this backdrop of resilience and renewal, there is an undeniable sense of community spirit emanating from every corner captured within this frame. Kemsley House's expertly preserved print allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, life goes on. It invites us to reflect upon our own connection to history while marveling at how much has changed since those days gone by. As we peer into this window to another time, let us be transported back to St Andrews Street in June 1947 – where stories were written on every corner and memories were made with each passing step.
