Captured by renowned photographer Bedford Lemere in September 1891, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into Victorian-era luxury and design. The Moorish Smoking Room exudes an air of exoticism and refinement with its intricate architectural details and lavish furnishings. The room is adorned with ornate tiles featuring geometric patterns, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle that transports viewers to distant lands. The richly decorated walls are complemented by sumptuous carpets and plush seating arrangements, inviting guests to relax and indulge in leisurely conversations over tobacco. Bedford Lemere's expert lens skillfully captures the play of light within this magnificent space, illuminating every corner with a warm glow.
