EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the anticipation surrounding the grand opening of the magnificent new palace of the London County Council (LCC). With its regal architecture and exquisite craftsmanship, this architectural marvel is set to be inaugurated by none other than King George V himself next Monday. The image showcases a view inside the large committee room, where visitors are greeted by an awe-inspiring sight. The focal point of the room is undoubtedly the stunning oaken pillars with intricately carved capitals, showcasing exceptional attention to detail. Additionally, one can observe one of two remarkable oaken partitions that have been ingeniously designed to disappear into the floor when desired. In this particular shot, we witness one partition partially raised. Beyond this impressive partition lies a statue of Eve, adding an artistic touch to this already breathtaking space. The composition and contrast captured in monochrome further emphasize both elegance and timelessness. Dated 12 July 1922, this historic photograph serves as a testament to London's rich heritage and signifies a significant milestone for both LCC and County Hall. As it joins Europeana Photography's collection courtesy of Central News agency, it allows us to delve into history and appreciate not only architectural brilliance but also celebrate moments that shape our cultural landscape.
