EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Thames boathouse BL11138" takes us back in time to the enchanting Victorian era. The image captures a serene scene at The Islet, Court Road, Maidenhead Court, Berkshire. As we gaze upon this picturesque view, our eyes are immediately drawn to the stunning boathouse attached to the main house. Photographed by Bedford Lemere in October 1891, this timeless snapshot showcases his remarkable talent for capturing architectural beauty. In the foreground of the photograph lies an elegant electric launch boat gracefully gliding through the calm waters of the backwater. Its presence adds a touch of sophistication and modernity amidst its historic surroundings. The composition is truly breathtaking; it perfectly frames the majestic boathouse against a backdrop of lush greenery and tranquil waterways. It evokes a sense of tranquility and invites us to imagine leisurely strolls along these idyllic grounds or perhaps even embarking on a peaceful boat ride down Thames River. Bedford Lemere's masterful lens has preserved this moment from over a century ago, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic charm. This print serves as a testament to Victorian craftsmanship and design while also reminding us of simpler times spent enjoying nature's beauty. As we admire this extraordinary piece captured by Bedford Lemere, we can't help but be transported back in time - where elegance met innovation on the banks of Thames River.
