A Woman Walking Along the Embankment on a Rainy Night with a Full Moon, 1910 Description: This lantern slide depicts a woman in a flowing coat and hat, bravely making her way along the Embankment in London during a rainy night. The full moon casts a soft, ethereal glow over the scene, illuminating the cobblestone street and the ornate lamps that line it. The woman's umbrella is held high to shield her from the rain, while the reflections of the moon and streetlights dance on the wet pavement. The Embankment, a popular promenade along the south bank of the River Thames, is known for its scenic views of the river and the city skyline. This image, captured in 1910, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple pleasure of an evening stroll along the river was enough to bring joy and wonder. Background: Lantern slides were a popular form of visual entertainment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were used in lantern projectors to create slideshows, often accompanied by live narration or music. The images on the slides could be photographs, paintings, or other visual media. This particular lantern slide is part of the extensive collection held by Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical images for educational, cultural, and commercial use. The library's vast archive of over 2 million images spans a wide range of subjects, from history and art to science and travel, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone with an interest in the past.
