EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of St Thomas Hospital on Albert Embankment in late 19th century London. The image, taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, showcases the hospital's impressive facade against a backdrop of the River Thames. Built in 1871 on reclaimed land during the construction of Albert Embankment, St Thomas Hospital stood as a testament to Victorian architecture and engineering prowess. However, much of this magnificent building was tragically destroyed during World War II bombings. The photo provides a glimpse into a bygone era when boats and barges dotted the riverbank, serving as vital transportation links for goods and people alike. A tugboat can be seen navigating through the waters, adding movement to an otherwise still scene. The composition highlights not only the hospital but also its surroundings - Lambeth's picturesque landscape with its charming buildings lining both sides of the river. This view offers a unique perspective on London's history and development. Preserved within a private collection, this print serves as a reminder of St Thomas Hospital's significance in England's architectural heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical importance while reflecting upon how time has shaped our urban landscapes.
