EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Oxford Street in Central London during the Edwardian era, circa 1900s. The bustling street is filled with a vibrant energy as horse-drawn carriages and automobiles navigate their way through the throngs of pedestrians. In the foreground, the window display of Peter Robinson, a well-known men's clothing retailer, catches the eye with its elegant mannequins and stylish attire. Moving further down the street, Waring & Gillow, a renowned furniture and decorative arts dealer, can be seen in the middle distance with its grand sign proudly displayed. Sunblinds, a common sight in shop windows during this time, provide a pop of color against the brick and mortar buildings. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate details of the shop signs, buses, and cars. A Willesden bus makes its way down the road, while a Schweppes dry ginger ale advertisement can be seen on the side of a building. The street is a hive of activity, with bicycles leaning against the walls and people hurrying about their business. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique character and charm of Oxford Street during the early 1900s. The combination of horse-drawn carriages and automobiles, traditional shop signs, and modern conveniences like buses and cars, create a fascinating juxtaposition of old and new.
