EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Whitehall, Westminster in 1884. Taken by the talented photographer Harry Bedford Lemere, this snapshot captures a moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this historic image, our eyes are drawn to the grandeur of Whitehall as it stretches out before us. Looking north-east from Horse Guards, we see an enchanting scene unfold. To the right stands the magnificent Banqueting House designed by Inigo Jones, its elegant architecture commanding attention even amidst a sea of horse-drawn vehicles traversing the road below. The juxtaposition between old-world charm and modern transportation creates a fascinating contrast that speaks volumes about London's ever-evolving landscape. In Lemere's lens, we witness a glimpse into Whitehall's past when it was still home to both residential and government buildings. This vibrant mix of life is palpable as people go about their daily routines against a backdrop steeped in history. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestones and imagine ourselves walking alongside these Victorian figures who once inhabited these very streets. It serves as a poignant reminder that while time may pass and cities may transform, there will always be remnants of our shared heritage etched within their walls. Bedford Lemere's masterful composition allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in this era captured forever on film.
