EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, bathed in the soft glow of night. The image, taken by renowned photographer Eric de Mare between 1945 and 1980, presents a timeless view of this historic Victorian-Gothic landmark. The Big Ben clock tower, with its iconic four faces and distinctive chimes, stands proudly at the heart of the composition. The nearby Westminster Bridge, with its elegant arches and illuminated lights, adds a sense of dynamism and movement to the scene. A solitary boat drifts gently on the River Thames, reflecting the majesty of the Palace and its towering clock tower. The Palace of Westminster, a symbol of British politics and democracy, has been a constant presence on the London skyline for over 1,000 years. This photograph captures its enduring allure and beauty, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and traditions that it represents.
