EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image, captured by renowned photographer H Bedford Lemere in 1885, showcases a newly-built office block on Northumberland Avenue in Westminster. Standing tall and proud, the exterior of this architectural gem exudes elegance and grandeur. What truly brings this snapshot to life is the line of horse-drawn cabs waiting patiently outside the building. These majestic creatures, adorned with ornate harnesses, add an air of nostalgia to the scene. As we gaze at their poised presence amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, we can almost hear their hooves clattering against cobblestone streets. Lemere's expert perspective allows us to immerse ourselves in this historic moment frozen in time. We are transported back to an era where transportation relied on horsepower rather than engines. It serves as a reminder that progress has its roots firmly planted in tradition. This photograph provides a glimpse into daily life during one of London's most iconic periods - when horse-drawn cabs were a common sight along its vibrant avenues. It captures not only architecture but also a sense of movement and energy that was characteristic of Victorian England. As we admire this remarkable piece from Historic England's collection, let our imaginations wander through these storied streets - where history meets modernity and where timeless beauty resides within every frame captured by H Bedford Lemere.
