This print showcases the grand vision for the new concert hall to be constructed on the picturesque South Bank of the Thames. The image, taken on 29 April 1949, captures a model of the proposed design that was submitted for discussion at County Hall. The plan not only aimed to serve as a centerpiece for the upcoming 1951 Festival of Britain but also as a permanent architectural marvel. With an estimated cost of £1,250,000, this ambitious project sought to create an iconic landmark that would stand as a testament to artistic excellence and cultural significance. Positioned just North-East of Hungerford Bridge, this future concert hall promises breathtaking views and unparalleled acoustics. The photograph emanates an air of anticipation and excitement surrounding this groundbreaking endeavor. As we gaze upon this intricate model displayed in all its glory, one cannot help but imagine how it will come alive with music from world-renowned orchestras filling its halls. While commercial use is not mentioned explicitly in relation to this particular image or caption provided by General (the company), it is evident that such a magnificent structure would undoubtedly attract audiences from far and wide. From classical symphonies to contemporary performances, this concert hall holds immense potential to become London's premier destination for musical enthusiasts. As we reflect upon this snapshot frozen in time, we eagerly await witnessing the realization of these plans into reality – a majestic concert hall gracing London's South Bank skyline forevermore.
