EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the grand opening of the Rotherhithe Ferry in London, England, in 1877. The late Lord Mayor of London, dressed in his formal attire, is seen cutting the ribbon to officially inaugurate the service. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, the Lord Mayor's sense of pride and excitement is palpable as he performs this ceremonial duty. The Rotherhithe Ferry was a vital transportation link between the south and north banks of the Thames, connecting the Rotherhithe and Wapping areas of London. Its opening marked a significant milestone in the city's history, making it easier for people and goods to move between these two areas. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the sartorial elegance and grandeur of the late Victorian era. The Thames, with its tranquil waters and picturesque surroundings, adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. This photograph is a testament to London's rich history and the importance of transportation in shaping the city's growth and development. It serves as a reminder of the past and the role that such historical events continue to play in shaping our present and future.
