EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the grandeur of the late 19th century. Titled "Dining at the Savoy BL13428" it captures a moment frozen in history within the iconic Savoy Hotel, located on The Strand in City of Westminster. The image showcases an interior view of the exquisite "Pinafore Room" adorned with opulent red decor that exudes elegance and sophistication. At its center stands a resplendent dinner table, beautifully set for an evening of fine dining and lavish indulgence. Every detail is meticulously captured by Bedford Lemere, renowned for his ability to bring architectural spaces to life through his lens. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported into a world where luxury knows no bounds. The atmosphere is palpable; one can almost hear hushed conversations and clinking glasses as guests revel in their surroundings. Taken during December 1895 for hotel management purposes, this photograph serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It allows us to glimpse into an era when elaborate dinners were hosted amidst breathtaking interiors like those found at The Savoy Hotel. Bedford Lemere's skillful composition invites us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also the craftsmanship that went into creating such timeless beauty. This print from Historic England reminds us that even after more than a century has passed, some places continue to captivate our imagination with their enduring charm and allure.
