EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the roof garden at the Langbourne Club for City women in Fishmonger Hall Street, London, during the 1920s. The club, which opened its doors on July 7th, 1925, provided a much-needed sanctuary for women working in the bustling City. In this image, we see a group of elegantly dressed ladies enjoying their lunch break amidst a backdrop of towering cranes and the majestic River Thames. Seated comfortably on deck chairs around tables adorned with tea sets and reading materials, these hardworking women find solace in this tranquil oasis high above the busy streets below. Tower Bridge stands proudly in the distance as steamships gracefully sail along the river's surface. The fashion of this era is beautifully showcased through their attire - hats perched delicately atop their heads and dresses exuding sophistication. A waitress attends to their needs while they engage in conversation or simply take a moment to relax and unwind from their demanding professions. This photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into an exclusive social space but also serves as a testament to female empowerment during an era when opportunities for women were expanding rapidly. It reminds us that even amidst city life's hustle and bustle, moments of tranquility can be found if one knows where to look.
