EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Victoria Embankment and a steamship gracefully sailing on the River Thames in London, circa 1907. Designed by the brilliant civil engineer Joseph Bazalgette, the Victoria Embankment was ingeniously constructed to accommodate his revolutionary sewer system while also serving as a picturesque thoroughfare alongside the majestic river. The focal point of this image is Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk dating back to approximately 1500 BC. This remarkable artifact was transported all the way from Egypt to London in 1878, adding a touch of historical grandeur to the already breathtaking scenery. The hand-coloured postcard captures not only the architectural marvels but also provides a glimpse into early 20th-century city life. Boats of various sizes dotting the river create a lively atmosphere, reflecting London's bustling maritime activity during that era. The vibrant colours used in tinting this photograph enhance its visual appeal and transport viewers back in time. As we admire this snapshot frozen in history, it reminds us of how transportation and communication have evolved over time. From steamships navigating these waters to modern-day vessels traversing global seas, technology has propelled us forward while preserving remnants of our past along rivers like Thames. This intriguing print curated by Unknown offers an enchanting window into London's rich heritage and serves as a testament to human ingenuity both architecturally and historically.
