EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in August 1936. Tower Bridge, an iconic symbol of Victorian architecture, stands tall and majestic as it is raised to allow passage for large vessels along the River Thames. In this moment frozen in time, horse-drawn carts patiently wait on either side of the bridge, their drivers attentively tending to their noble steeds. The scene exudes a sense of both tranquility and anticipation. The horses stand poised with strength and grace, their harnesses gleaming under the sunlight that filters through the clouds above. The cart drivers, dressed in traditional attire reflective of the era's fashion trends, lean against their carriages with a quiet confidence. As Tower Bridge begins its ascent into the sky, one can't help but marvel at its intricate design and engineering prowess. Its grandeur serves as a testament to human ingenuity while blending harmoniously with its surroundings - historic buildings lining Southwark on one side and modern commercial structures dotting London's skyline on the other. This photograph by Bertnard Alfieri transports us back to an era when horse-drawn transport was still prevalent amidst emerging technological advancements. It captures not only a specific moment in time but also encapsulates the spirit of London - a city where history meets progress seamlessly.
