EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures a fascinating moment in London's history - model warships sailing on the Serpentine in 1814. The intricate details of the ships and the serene waters of the lake transport us back to a time when these miniature vessels were a popular form of entertainment for Londoners.
The image is part of a set of cigarette cards from 1934, illustrating "The Story of London" issued by Churchman. It offers a glimpse into how people in early 20th century England viewed their capital city's past, highlighting events like this unique naval display.
As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear the cheers of spectators lining the banks of the Serpentine, marveling at the craftsmanship and skill required to navigate these tiny ships. The colors are rich and inviting, drawing us into a world where history comes alive through art.
This print serves as a reminder that London's story is filled with unexpected moments and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. It invites us to explore not only the city itself but also its rich tapestry of tales that have shaped its identity over centuries.
