EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Great Snowstorm" takes us back to the winter of 1881, when a fierce snowstorm engulfed the bustling city of London. Captured in exquisite detail by William Biscombe Gardner, this engraving showcases the aftermath of the storm that left an indelible mark on the capital. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to Princes Square and its surroundings. The once vibrant streets now lie buried under a thick blanket of snow, transforming London into a serene winter wonderland. The frozen Thames River stands as a testament to nature's power, its icy surface reflecting the wintry sky above. Examining closer, we witness evidence of the storm's devastating impact.

It serves as a reminder that even in times past, communities faced unexpected challenges with determination and unity.
