The Thames Embankment and London Bridge, London, 1909 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of London in 1909. With its two circular views, it offers a unique perspective on life along the River Thames. In one view, we see majestic steamships gracefully gliding through the waterway, with Cleopatra's Needle standing tall in the background. The hand-colored details bring this scene to life, capturing the vibrancy of a bygone era. The second view transports us to London Bridge, where horse-drawn traffic dominates the streets. The iconic bridge serves as a gateway between City of London and City of Westminster. It is fascinating to witness how transportation has evolved over time – from horses pulling carriages to modern vehicles that now traverse these same roads. This postcard captures not only architectural marvels but also provides insights into daily life during this period. It reminds us of an age when postal service played a crucial role in communication and when ships were vital for trade and travel. As we gaze upon this historical gem created by an unknown artist or photographer from Fielder & Henderson studio, we are reminded of how much our world has changed while appreciating the timeless beauty that still exists within these familiar landmarks.
