EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing birds-eye view of the grand staircase inside the iconic St Pancras Hotel in London. Taken by renowned photographer John Gay between 1960 and 1972, this image offers a unique perspective on the architectural splendor of the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras Station. The photograph showcases an intricate network of stairs that gracefully wind their way down, creating a sense of elegance and sophistication. The ornate details adorning each step and banister are beautifully highlighted, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into designing this magnificent structure. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to the vastness of space surrounding us. The sheer height of the stairwell creates a breathtaking visual spectacle, emphasizing both its grandeur and significance within this historic building. It is impossible not to be captivated by the symphony of light and shadows playing across every surface.
