EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegant interior of the billiard room at the National Liberal Club in London, as it appeared in the late 19th century. The National Liberal Club, located in Whitehall Place, Westminster, was designed by the renowned Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse and built between 1884 and 1887. This image is part of a set of photographs commissioned by the club itself, and was captured by the esteemed Bedford Lemere and Company towards the end of 1887. The billiard room is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. The room is filled with richly upholstered furniture, ornate woodwork, and intricately patterned wallpaper. The billiard table, with its green felt surface and elegant cues, takes center stage, surrounded by comfortable chairs and tables, perfect for post-game discussions or quiet reflection. The room is bathed in natural light, streaming in through the large windows that offer views of the bustling streets of Westminster outside. The National Liberal Club was an important social and political hub during the Victorian era, attracting prominent figures from the world of politics, business, and the arts. The billiard room was a popular gathering place for members, providing an opportunity to relax, socialize, and engage in friendly competition. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance, sophistication, and camaraderie.
