1. Title: "A Glimpse of Russell Square and the Hotel Russell in Bloomsbury, London, circa 1900" This photograph transports us back in time to the heart of Bloomsbury, London, circa 1900. The image showcases the picturesque Russell Square, framed by its elegant iron railings and lush greenery, with the iconic Hotel Russell proudly standing at its northern edge. Russell Square, one of the largest of London's garden squares, was designed by the renowned landscape architect William Henry Fox and completed in 1800. The square, named after the Russell family, who were the Dukes of Bedford at the time, was intended to provide a tranquil oasis in the bustling city. In this photograph, the square is adorned with a vibrant carpet of blooming flowers, creating a breathtaking contrast against the lush green grass. The Hotel Russell, now known as the Russell Hotel, is a historic landmark that has been an integral part of Bloomsbury's rich history. Originally built as the Bedford Hotel in 1898, it was later renamed in 1932 in honor of Lord Russell, the Marquess of Tavistock. This grand Victorian building, with its red-brick facade and ornate detailing, exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the charm and beauty of Russell Square and the Hotel Russell in Bloomsbury, London, during the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the area's rich history and the enduring allure of London's garden squares.
