Absolutely loved my print. The depth and details are spectacular and the quality of the print is fantastic. I framed this in a white frame and didn't have the exact size handy so kept the lower space intentionally open. I love how it came out.

I bought this for a friend who lived in France for many years. Now that she is back in the states she misses France her favorite country. When I spoke with her on the phone she absolutely loved it. It showed all the places she lived or visited. She loved that it had an antique flair. She is getting it framed when she can. This my gift for her to bring up her spirits. She has stage 4 cancer. We live in 2 different cities & are comrades & would do anything for each other. When I saw it in the website I knew I had to buy it. Great work. A big thank you for your talent & putting out there to buy your beautiful map!!!

Just exactly what I was looking for. Next time I’m in SFO, I’ll be sure to wear flowers in my hair! Thank you so much for bringing back all those memories.

Artist's Description
This red telephone booth is easily recognizable as an icon of England. With the development of new technologies,the kiosk is becoming unnecessary as a public telephone serivce. The booths are still around,although it is not known for how much longer: modernization initiatives are transforming each of them into a solar mobile phone recharge oasis, the 'current red' colour with a luxuriant fresh green.
The booth was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The red was chosen because it was a colour easy to spot. A crown insignia representing the British government was placed prominently on the upper portion of the booth in 1926. The booths were designated as "K" (Kiosk) series and numbered consecutively each time a design was updated. There is only one K1 booth left; it dates back to 1925 (prior to Sir Scott's award to redesign the UK Post Office's kiosk design).The K2 prototype is outside the Royal Academy of Arts, London [see my image ...]
While the green replacements...

They are fun to see. I love your description, too. Neat to see your reflection in the window. Fabulous subject, Connie. f/l
Connie Handscomb replied:
I'm not in the reflection .. but there are some masts from large sailboats that were on the Thames; glad you like this , thank you very much! :)))
Connie Handscomb
Thank you, too, Mark for featuring this image in London Photography; much appreciate :))
Sandra Sengstock-Miller
Great to see they are still surviving in England. I used one everyone morning to ring back home when I was in London. Australia got rid of their red boxes many years ago. I do wonder how long England's will last with everyone nearly have a mobile phone. A great capture and notes. L/F Sandy
Connie Handscomb replied:
These will be around for a while .. {2,000 anyway} ; I don't want to see them go either ; thank you Sandra for your support here ;)))
Linda Lees
It's great that these iconic phone boxes are being re purposed. I hadn't heard of them being transformed into charging stations but I had heard of some being used as a book swapping station. Terrific capture Connie.
Connie Handscomb replied:
Book swapping stations are great ideas, too, Linda, yes! glad you like this .. I'm glad some of them will be around for a while :))
Jerry Bokowski
Connie, Very few public phones exist any more in Tuscon...There are just empty booths devoid of phones as a reminder of changing times. Nothing like this blast from the past though. Excellent capture and story as always! FAV Jerry
Connie Handscomb replied:
Looking over to the commentary on the side, Jerry .. I guess there's a lot to read there, Lol.. oh my ... ; maybe Tucson can take a hint from London, pretty them up & use them as recharge stations ... or plant flowers in them :)))

I really do love these red booths ... ; glad you do, too :)))
Andrew Hunter
you are very welcome Connie
Connie Handscomb replied:
:)))
Andrew Hunter
cool
Connie Handscomb replied:
Thanks, Andrew! .. & Hello! .. in 'real time' :))) {I didn't know about the "K' series until I began to research these boxes ... great idea to declare these as 'buildings' so they can't be removed ; the silver ones aren't striking in appeal as the red }
Jeff Swan
Awesome work Connie

Ah, Jeff .. you've been good to me, thank you! :)))
