EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a serene late afternoon scene on the River Thames in London, circa 1910s. The iconic Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower (commonly known as Big Ben) stand proudly on the right bank of the river, their Gothic Revival architecture bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. Across the water, a small paddle steamer makes its way downstream, leaving a gentle wake as it passes. The tranquility of the scene is contrasted by the sight of several empty moored river barges, their rustic wooden frames and weathered siding adding character to the otherwise formal composition. The Victoria Tower Bridge, another London landmark, can be seen in the distance, its distinct profile silhouetted against the sky. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of elegant river travel and the enduring beauty of London's waterfront.
