A Favoured Inmate of the City - The Plane-Tree in Cheapside, c1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a street scene in the heart of the City of London during the 1930s. Standing tall and proud amidst bustling activity is a magnificent plane tree, affectionately known as "A Favoured Inmate of the City". Its branches stretch out gracefully, providing shade to passersby who seek respite from the urban hustle. The setting showcases Friday Street on the right, with its charming shops lining both sides. One particular shop catches our attention with a plaque commemorating an event that shaped London's history - The Great Fire of London in 1666. This juxtaposition between old and new highlights how this vibrant city has evolved over centuries while still preserving its rich heritage. The photographer behind this remarkable image is SO Gorse, whose lens skillfully captures not only architectural details but also nature's beauty within an urban landscape. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this snapshot, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. This print comes from "Wonderful London". Volume 1 edited by St. John Adcock – a publication that celebrates all aspects of this great city. It serves as a window into a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these streets and people went about their daily lives amidst historic landmarks. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we are reminded of how nature can thrive even in
