This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the architectural grandeur of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster during the summer of 1969. The image showcases the intricate Gothic Revival detail of the Palace of Westminster, from the massive Victoria Tower in the foreground to the iconic Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben in the distance. In the public garden area of Abingdon Street, the bronze “Knife Edge Two Piece” sculpture by Henry Moore is visible, having been sited there in 1967. A sign for the “Abingdon Street Garage” provides a functional contrast to the monumental buildings, advertising spaces for 250 cars. The street is busy with period coaches, including a blue Gold Eagle tour bus, and crowds of tourists in late-sixties summer attire strolling through the heart of British democracy. This digital download is a stunning record of London’s political landscape, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of classic vintage wall art.
