EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the archways under the remains of the Adelphi building on Little Robert Street, located in Westminster, central London. The Adelphi, designed by renowned architects John and Robert Adam in the late 18th century, was a groundbreaking neoclassical structure that marked a turning point in London's architectural history. The image showcases an alleyway adorned with cobblestones leading to an archway that once formed part of this grand edifice. The haunting beauty of the scene is enhanced by its monochrome presentation, which adds a sense of timelessness to this historic location. Little Robert Street itself is named after one of the Adam brothers who played a significant role in shaping London's cityscape during their prolific careers. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1935, we are transported back to an era when these arches were still intact and bustling with life. This evocative image serves as a reminder of both the architectural brilliance exhibited by John and Robert Adam and their lasting impact on British design. It also offers us a glimpse into London's past, allowing us to appreciate how urban landscapes evolve over time while preserving fragments of their historical charm. Captured within these archways lies not only remnants of an iconic building but also echoes from centuries gone by - whispers from those who once walked these cobbled streets and experienced life amidst such remarkable architecture.
