This photograph captures the talented Mr James Woodford engrossed in his work within his London studio. The image showcases him meticulously working on the plaster casts of the plaques that will adorn the doors of the new Norwich Town Hall. Renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship, Woodford was commissioned by the Royal Institute of British Architects to design these exquisite doors. What makes his process even more remarkable is that he personally carved each intricate detail directly into the plaster, which would later be used to cast bronze replicas. The photo, taken on 14 September 1937, transports us back to a time between two world wars when Europe was undergoing significant changes. It serves as a testament to both Woodford's artistic prowess and the enduring beauty of monochrome photography. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this image from Planet News Press allows us a glimpse into an era where dedication and skill were paramount in creating architectural masterpieces. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how artistry can transcend generations and continue to inspire awe
