EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Waterloo Place in London, back in 1905. The intersection with Pall Mall is beautifully depicted, as we gaze north towards Piccadilly. In the foreground stands the remarkable Crimean War Memorial, designed by John Bell and unveiled in 1861 to commemorate the Allied victory in the Crimean War of 1853-1856. The postcard itself adds an intriguing layer to this historical snapshot. With a note written on its back, it reveals that someone named Ethel had taken it upon herself to send these postcards to fill up a cherished album. It's a testament to how even then, people sought ways to preserve memories and capture moments through visual mementos. The hand-colored print showcases not only architectural details but also highlights the vibrant colors of early 20th-century London. The statue's grandeur against the backdrop of bustling streets creates an awe-inspiring scene that transports us back in time. As we delve into this image captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded of Britain's rich history and its enduring symbols. This print serves as a window into both past events and personal connections – connecting us with those who treasured their memories enough to share them through postal service.
