EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image captures the interior view of Lowther Arcade, a popular shopping arcade located in Strand, Westminster. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages rambled through the city streets and people went about their daily lives. In front of Harrison, a renowned jeweller and silversmith shop, individuals can be seen going about their business. Some are engrossed in conversation while others leisurely stroll along the avenue, taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant city. The architecture of Lowther Arcade is impressive with its intricate details and grandeur. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia to the scene, highlighting both the beauty and simplicity that defined Victorian-era England. As we explore every corner of this photograph, it becomes evident that Lowther Arcade was not just a place for commerce but also a hub for social interaction. People from all walks of life would gather here to browse shops or simply enjoy each other's company.
