EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ethel Davies takes us back to John Lewis Ox St in 2005, capturing a moment frozen in time. In the midst of bustling London, two iconic red telephone boxes designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott stand proudly, remnants of a bygone era. Dating all the way back to 1926, these traditional telephone boxes with their distinctive crowns are rapidly disappearing from the streetscape. The image showcases not only these unique landmarks but also provides a glimpse into Victorian architecture with a typical residential block serving as an enchanting backdrop near Oxford Street. The juxtaposition of old and new is evident as modernity encroaches upon this historical scene. Davies' keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating these telephone boxes. Their vertical stature adds grandeur to their presence on the street corner, demanding attention from passersby. As we observe this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of how our urban landscapes evolve over time. It prompts reflection on the importance of preserving our heritage amidst rapid development and progress. Ethel Davies has masterfully captured an enduring snapshot that transports us back in time while reminding us of the need to cherish and protect our cultural treasures for future generations.
