EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Oxford Street in the early 20th century. Standing tall and proud, "The New Building, Bourne and Hollingsworth" dominates the scene with its grand architecture and ornate details. The department store's name is discreetly etched on its façade, a symbol of prestige and elegance. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to various elements that bring life to the image. A vibrant red pillar box stands prominently at the corner, serving as a reminder of communication in an era before smartphones and instant messaging. Adjacent to it, a classic car parked by the curb adds a touch of nostalgia. Amidst all this activity, we spot a diligent policeman patrolling his beat. His presence instills a sense of security amidst the hustle and bustle of shoppers going about their day. Captured by Charles Edward Dixon, this print from Mark Fiennes' private collection exudes an air of authenticity that only vintage photographs possess. It allows us to glimpse into an era where department stores were not just places for shopping but also architectural marvels that shaped cityscapes. "The New Building, Bourne and Hollingsworth" serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a historical document capturing everyday life on one London's most iconic streets.
