EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the elegant Victorian era, specifically to a drawing room within Terceira House, located on Aigburth Drive in Sefton Park, Liverpool. The interior of this grand residence is beautifully showcased, offering a glimpse into the refined taste and opulent lifestyle of the period. The focal point of this exquisite room is undoubtedly the fireplace adorned with lush potted ferns. Their vibrant greenery adds a touch of nature's beauty to an otherwise meticulously decorated space. Surrounding the hearth are carefully selected pieces of furniture that exude Victorian charm and sophistication. One cannot help but be drawn to the regal portrait hanging proudly on the wall – none other than Queen Victoria herself. This homage to Her Majesty serves as a reminder of her influential reign during this time. Photographed by H Bedford Lemere in September 1891, this image captures not only an impeccably designed interior but also preserves a moment frozen in history. The attention to detail evident in every aspect - from the intricately patterned wallpaper adorning the walls to each carefully chosen decorative element - showcases both Lemere's skill as a photographer and his appreciation for capturing architectural beauty. Through this photograph, we are transported back over a century ago, allowing us to marvel at an era defined by its lavishness and refinement.
