Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park was a lively public space in wartime London in 1944, where free speech was traditionally tolerated. Jack Lieb captured this everyday moment in May 1944 as part of his preparatory footage in England before departing with the Allied forces to Normandy. The scene belongs to the London phase of his film, which documents life in the city in the weeks immediately preceding D-Day.
