The image showcases Mitzi Solomon Cunliffe's remarkable sculpture, Root Bodied Forth, exhibited proudly on the South Bank Exhibition site in Lambeth, London. Meticulously captured by photographer M W Parry, this archival print transports us back to an era of artistic innovation and cultural celebration.

With its roots firmly grounded, it reaches skyward with graceful branches that seem to dance against the backdrop of London's skyline.
