EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Royal Courts of Justice from a window on the corner of Essex Street in 1935. Designed by George Edmund Street and officially opened in 1882, these iconic Law Courts stand proudly on the Strand in Westminster, central London. The grandeur of their neo-Gothic architecture is beautifully showcased against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape. The image, taken from "Wonderful London, Volume 3" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, transports us back to a time when this architectural masterpiece was at its prime. The High Court and Court of Appeal of England and Wales find their home within these historic walls. Donald McLeish skillfully captured this momentous scene with his monochrome lens, emphasizing the intricate details that define Victorian Gothic design. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of both our rich legal heritage and the enduring beauty found within our urban landscapes. With Fleetway House serving as its publisher's location in London during that era, this print carries an air of authenticity that adds to its allure. It stands as a testament to British craftsmanship and architectural brilliance while also offering us a glimpse into life during the thirties. This remarkable image is not only an artistic treasure but also an invaluable historical document showcasing one of London's most significant landmarks - forever frozen in time for generations to appreciate.
