EDITORS COMMENTS
Big Ben in Half Light: A Timeless Icon of London's Parliament Square (1898) This evocative photograph captures the iconic Big Ben clock tower and Parliament Square in London shrouded in the mystical half light of a foggy evening in 1898. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era when horse-drawn carriages still plied the streets and the foggy chill of an English winter evening was a familiar experience. The large, looming figure of Big Ben stands proudly against the backdrop of the foggy night, its clock face illuminated by the dim light of the gas lamps lining the square. The intricate details of the clock's gears and mechanisms can be seen through the large glass windows, a testament to the engineering marvel of the time. The foggy conditions add an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene, with the misty veil enveloping the buildings and the streets, creating a sense of isolation and quiet reflection. The streets are almost deserted, with only a few horse-drawn carriages and figures in the distance adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural grandeur of Parliament Square and its surrounding buildings, which continue to be iconic landmarks of London's rich history. The image is a reminder of the enduring beauty and charm of London, even in the harshest of weather conditions, and serves as a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time.
