EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the bustling heart of Central London, this iconic print showcases Daily Mirror photographer Monte Fresco enjoying a moment of respite in the restaurant at the top of the Post Office Tower (now BT Tower) in July 1966. In this snapshot from the swinging sixties, Fresco is seen immersed in his work, armed with his trusty Rolleiflex camera and dressed impeccably in a stylish suit. As one of the leading photographers for the renowned Daily Mirror newspaper, Fresco's lens captured countless moments that shaped history. However, even he needed to refuel amidst his demanding profession. The restaurant atop this towering landmark provided him with not only delicious sustenance but also breathtaking panoramic views of London's ever-evolving skyline. In an era defined by cultural revolution and social change, dining out became more than just nourishment; it was an experience that symbolized freedom and leisure. This image encapsulates both aspects as Fresco indulges in delectable cuisine while simultaneously documenting life through his lens. Decades may have passed since this photograph was taken, but its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today. It serves as a reminder of an era when hard work met pleasure seamlessly and when individuals like Monte Fresco played an integral role in shaping public perception through their artistry.
