Despite being captured in 2013, this London street scene has been enhanced so that it looks like an old faded lithograph. The style of the old fashioned double decker busses adds to the ambiguity of the age of the image, as does the lack of definition of the people crossing the street, as well as the lack of focal sharpness of the overall shot. The image sharpness and quality of the shot, including the ambiguity of the age of the shot adds to its artfulness, despite being a straightforward representation of a real and modern street scene.
