EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant South Bank of London in 1951. The image captures a momentous work in progress on the iconic Skylon Feature, which stood tall at an impressive height of 300 feet during the Festival of Britain. The Skylon Feature was a vertical structure that became one of the most recognizable symbols of this grand exhibition held in post-war Britain. Its sleek and futuristic design perfectly embodied the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized this era. In this photograph, we witness dedicated workers diligently constructing this towering masterpiece against a backdrop of bustling activity. The scene is filled with scaffolding, cranes, and construction materials scattered around as they strive to bring their vision to life. The skilled staff photographer Greenwell expertly captured every detail, showcasing both the magnitude and intricacy involved in creating such an architectural marvel. This snapshot freezes time for us to appreciate not only the physical labor but also the ambition behind this ambitious project.
