1879 Custom Floating Frozen Quay
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a rare and captivating moment in history - the frozen Thames of 1879. The image shows floating ice off the Custom House Quay, creating a surreal and almost otherworldly scene. The houses lining the quay provide a stark contrast to the icy expanse, emphasizing the extreme cold that gripped England during this time.
The frozen Thames was not just a spectacle, but also a practical challenge for Londoners. The river served as a major transportation route, so when it froze over, it disrupted trade and travel throughout the city. Despite these challenges, there is an undeniable beauty in seeing such a familiar sight transformed by nature's power.
This photograph serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It allows us to glimpse into the past and imagine what life was like during this frigid winter in 1879. It reminds us of how our environment can change dramatically, shaping our lives in unexpected ways.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this moment with incredible detail and clarity, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this frozen moment on the Thames. It is truly an image worth treasuring for its historical value and artistic merit alike.
