EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the coffee room of the London Bridge Railway Terminus Hotel, located in Bermondsey, London. The year is 1860, and we are granted a glimpse into the exquisite interior design of this historic establishment. Designed by Henry Currey, the hotel stood proudly on the south side of the station until its unfortunate demolition in 1941. The image showcases a harmonious blend of architectural features and Victorian elegance. The ornate plasterwork adorning the ceiling adds an air of grandeur to this space, while carefully selected furniture creates an inviting atmosphere for customers. As we observe closely, we can almost imagine ourselves sitting at one of those tables, enjoying a cup of freshly brewed coffee amidst lively conversations. Robert Dudley's lithograph beautifully captures every intricate detail within this bustling hub of trade and transportation. It serves as a testament to both English craftsmanship and industrial progress during that era. This photograph not only transports us geographically but also allows us to travel through time and experience firsthand how service industries flourished within railway stations. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece offers valuable insights into our country's rich history. Let it serve as a reminder that even though physical structures may disappear over time, their stories continue to live on through art and documentation like this stunning lithograph by Vincent Brooks.
