EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print titled "Swan and Edgar, 1925" takes us back to the bustling streets of London's Piccadilly Circus in the early 20th century. Painted by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this artwork showcases the iconic department store Swan and Edgar Ltd. The grand building depicted in this image was designed by renowned architect Sir Reginald Blomfield and constructed between 1910-1920. It served as a flagship store for various commercial enterprises over the years, but it was Swan and Edgar that truly made its mark on this remarkable structure. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, we are transported to a vibrant urban scene filled with figures, cars, crowds, and shoppers. The neo-classical facade stands tall against the backdrop of city life, exuding elegance and sophistication. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the spirit of Edwardian architecture at its finest. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate carvings adorning the building's exterior to the lively atmosphere created by bustling activity below. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by historical landmarks, this stunning watercolour print offers a glimpse into London's past while celebrating both artistic talent and architectural beauty.
