EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1920s. The focal point is Columbia Market, a highly decorative building that stood near Shoreditch Church. Erected in 1869, this architectural gem was a beacon of hope in an otherwise poverty-stricken area. Generously funded by Lady Burdette-Coutts, Columbia Market aimed to provide a space for local vendors to sell their goods. Tables were set up within its quadrangular space, attracting people from all walks of life. However, despite its grandeur and noble intentions, the market proved to be a failure. Undeterred by this setback, Columbia Market underwent a transformation in 1877 when it reopened as a market exclusively selling American meat. This change breathed new life into the once struggling establishment and ensured its survival for years to come. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see carts filled with produce lining the streets surrounding Columbia Market. People bustle about, going about their daily routines amidst the vibrant atmosphere of inner London's markets. Bernard Alfieri's expertly captured image allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate both the architectural beauty of Columbia Market and its significance within London's history. It serves as a reminder that even failed endeavors can find redemption through adaptation and perseverance.
