EDITORS COMMENTS
Barges at Bankside, looking upstream towards Southwark Bridge, London, 1913. This print captures a moment frozen in time along the iconic River Thames. Barges gracefully line the riverbank in front of the bustling Bankside wharves, their presence adding a touch of charm to this historic scene. In the distance stands the majestic Saint Paul's Cathedral, its grandeur contrasting against the industrial backdrop of repair work being carried out on Southwark Bridge. The bridge itself serves as a symbol of connection between two vibrant parts of London - Bankside and Southwark. This photograph offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century life in England's capital city. It showcases not only the importance of water transport for trade and commerce but also highlights how bridges played an integral role in facilitating movement within London. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It reminds us that even amidst progress and change, certain landmarks like Saint Paul's Cathedral remain timeless symbols of London's rich history. As we gaze upon this snapshot from 1913, we are transported back to an age when barges were essential vessels for transporting goods along the River Thames. Let it serve as a reminder that our modern cityscape is built upon centuries-old foundations.
