Floating Frozen

EDITORS COMMENTS
"Title: Thames Frozen 1870 - A Glimpse into London's Frozen Past This photograph, taken in the winter of 1870, depicts the icy expanse of the River Thames at London Bridge. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a rare glimpse into London's history when the river froze over, an event that occurred only a few times during the 19th century. The Thames, a major artery of London, is usually teeming with boats and ships, but in this photograph, it is transformed into a vast, frozen landscape. The bridge, a symbol of London's resilience and engineering prowess, stands tall and proud, connecting the North and South banks of the river. The icy surface reflects the intricate details of the bridge's structure, making it appear almost ethereal. The frozen Thames was a spectacle that drew large crowds of Londoners and tourists alike. People could be seen skating, playing games, and even setting up temporary markets on the ice. This photograph captures the sense of wonder and excitement that the frozen Thames brought to the people of London. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a reminder of the harsh winter conditions that London once experienced. The photograph is a testament to the city's ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. The Thames Frozen 1870 is not only a historical document but also a beautiful work of art that captures the essence of a bygone era." This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical resource that transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sights and sounds of a frozen Thames in Victorian London.
