EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, EGP_22657_85, offers a breathtaking aerial view of the Palace of Westminster in London during the Edwardian era, specifically taken on the 22nd of May 1909 at 4:30 pm. The image was captured from the Corona balloon, providing a unique perspective of the urban landscape that was not commonly accessible during that time. The photograph showcases the Houses of Parliament, a prominent symbol of British politics and democracy, located on the north bank of the River Thames. Adjacent to it lies the iconic Westminster Abbey, a historic and architecturally stunning Gothic abbey that has played a significant role in the coronation and burial site for English and British monarchs since the 11th century. The River Thames, a major body of water that flows through the heart of London, can be seen meandering through the city, connecting the Palace of Westminster with other iconic landmarks such as the Tower Bridge and the Millennium Bridge. The image provides a glimpse into the urban landscape of London during the early 20th century, showcasing the city's rich history, architecture, and political significance. This photograph, held by Historic England Archive, is a testament to the advancements in technology during the Edwardian era, allowing for unique perspectives of the city that were previously unattainable. It serves as a reminder of the past, providing valuable insights into the history and development of London and its iconic landmarks.
