EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of Victorian London, showcasing the exquisite interior view of the Drawing Room in the iconic National Liberal Club. Built between 1884 and 1887, this architectural masterpiece was designed by renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse. The image, captured in December 1887 by Bedford Lemere and Company, emanates a sense of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of the era. The opulent furnishings, intricate detailing on the walls and ceiling, and abundant natural light flooding through large windows create an atmosphere of refined luxury. The National Liberal Club itself holds great historical significance as a gathering place for influential politicians and intellectuals during its time. It served as a hub for liberal thinkers who shaped British politics in their pursuit of progressive ideas. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this album print (AL0433) offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when social clubs were at their zenith. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural brilliance but also provides insight into how people lived during this period.
