EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Somerset House and Waterloo Bridge, two iconic landmarks in London during the year 1928. The image was created by Joseph Pennell, a renowned artist whose work is celebrated for its attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of urban landscapes. The view depicted in this illustration offers a glimpse into the bustling cityscape of early 20th century London. Somerset House stands proudly on the banks of the River Thames, its grandeur reflected in the calm waters below. The elegant architecture of this stately home is juxtaposed against the modernity of Waterloo Bridge, which spans across the river with grace. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally published in "A London Reverie" a book that undoubtedly transported readers back to an era when horse-drawn carriages shared streets with motor vehicles. It appeared as part of "The Bookman - Special Christmas Number 1928" adding a touch of nostalgia to holiday festivities. Pennell's engraving skillfully captures not only these architectural marvels but also includes rowing boats gracefully gliding along the river's surface. This snapshot transports viewers back in time, allowing them to immerse themselves in early 20th-century London life. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over time while timeless structures like Somerset House continue to stand tall as symbols of history and heritage.
