EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1929, where scaffolding envelops the magnificent Kings College at Cambridge University. The image beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the architectural grandeur of this iconic institution. Intriguingly, amidst the backdrop of towering Gothic buildings and intricate stonework, a solitary bicycle stands parked on the street below. A symbol of simplicity and freedom in contrast to the imposing structures surrounding it, this push bike adds a touch of everyday life to an otherwise timeless scene. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the sense of nostalgia evoked by this photograph. It transports us to an era when cars were still a novelty on these streets, as evidenced by one or two vintage vehicles captured in motion nearby. Alfieri's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Kings College but also its surroundings. The carefully composed shot showcases both architectural mastery and urban charm simultaneously. As we gaze upon this Europeana Photography gem from nearly a century ago, we are reminded that history lives within every brick and stone. This print serves as a testament to Cambridge University's enduring legacy while offering us an enchanting glimpse into life during the 1920s.
