EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the bustling streets of 1950s London with this print by Henry How. The image transports us to a quaint corner of St Johns Lane, where the iconic Baptists Head pub proudly stands as a testament to British culture and community. The black and white composition beautifully captures the architectural charm of this historic building. Its traditional facade boasts intricate details that have stood the test of time, while its inviting entrance beckons passersby for a momentary escape from the outside world. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from yesteryear, we can't help but notice groups of people gathered around tables outside the pub's entrance. Their animated conversations and jovial expressions reveal an atmosphere filled with camaraderie and laughter - a true reflection of what public houses represent: places where friends meet, stories are shared, and bonds are strengthened over pints of ale or glasses of whiskey. This photograph is not just about bricks and mortar; it encapsulates an era when pubs were at the heart of local communities. It serves as a nostalgic reminder that even amidst changing times, some things remain constant - like our innate need for connection and belonging. Henry How's lens has frozen a fleeting moment in history, allowing us to relive an evening at one particular establishment on that fateful day in May 1954. So take a step back through time
