EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1888, offering a glimpse into the past at the iconic Peoples Palace swimming baths in Stepney, London. The interior view captured by Bedford Lemere showcases a bustling scene during a female swimming session. As we peer down from the balcony, our eyes are drawn towards the expansive swimming pool that stretches out before us. The atmosphere is one of leisure and recreation as Victorian women gracefully glide through the water, their elegant bathing costumes reflecting the fashion of that era. The image exudes an air of tranquility and camaraderie as these ladies engage in this popular form of exercise and relaxation. Bedford Lemere's skilled photography transports us to another time, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of this historic building and its significance as a social hub for Londoners. The Peoples Palace was not only a place for physical activity but also served as a meeting point for friends and neighbors to gather, share stories, and enjoy each other's company. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over more than a century while highlighting our shared human desire for connection, well-being, and enjoyment amidst communal spaces like these remarkable swimming baths.
