EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Old Water Gate, a historic architectural gem nestled in Embankment Gardens, London. Dating back to 1626, this gate was originally constructed for the Duke of Buckingham and served as a marker for the old northern bank of the River Thames before the construction of the Embankment. Now standing several yards away from the water's edge, it stands as a testament to London's rich history. The image is part of a collectible cigarette card series produced by Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd, showcasing British royal and ancient buildings. Its monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to the 1920s when this photograph was taken. With its elegant archway and intricate details, this seventeenth-century structure exemplifies timeless architecture. It serves as a reminder of how geography shapes our surroundings; once marking the river's edge but now residing within lush gardens. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown but their work has been preserved by The Print Collector. This print not only appeals to collectors but also offers us all an opportunity to appreciate and celebrate London's historical landmarks that have stood strong through centuries of change.
