EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lamp on the Thames Embankment, London" takes us back to 19th century England. The image showcases a beautifully designed lamp post standing proudly along the iconic Thames Embankment in London. This print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of an era when electricity was just beginning to illuminate city streets. Published in The Illustrated London News on March 19,1870, this artwork offers a glimpse into the past and reveals how technology was shaping urban landscapes. The lamp's elegant design and intricate details reflect the craftsmanship of that time. The scene is further enriched by its inclusion of various elements such as arms and coats worn by individuals passing by. These costumes provide insight into the fashion trends prevalent during this period. A cloak or winter coat can be seen adorning some figures, suggesting that it may have been chilly at the time. As we admire this engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to Victorian London where history intertwines with progress. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of lighting technology while also appreciating the beauty found in everyday objects like street lamps.
