EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Holborn Bars, c. 1878" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image showcases the remarkable architecture of Holborn Bars, a historic building that stood as a testament to the city's rich heritage. Captured by Alfred and John Bool, this print is part of a series commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London in 1873. Their mission was to document buildings at risk of demolition, preserving their memory for future generations. The focus of this particular photograph is Staple Inn, an exquisite example of Tudor-style architecture dating back to 1585. With its distinctive gables, dormer windows, and intricate facade, it stands as a proud survivor among the ever-changing urban landscape. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and men in top hats hurriedly made their way through the legal district known as Holborn Bars. Through skilled photography techniques employed by Bridgeman Images' collection called Fine Art Finder, every detail comes alive – from the ornate dormers adorning the rooftop to each brick meticulously laid centuries ago. This evocative snapshot serves not only as a visual feast but also as an invaluable historical record. It reminds us that amidst progress and modernization lies our duty to cherish and preserve these relics from another era.
