EDITORS COMMENTS
Greetings from London, 1905: A Historical Journey Through Time This postcard, hailing from the early 20th century, transports us back to the bustling streets of London over a century ago. The image showcases a stunning collection of iconic London landmarks, each steeped in history and architectural grandeur. At the heart of the composition, the coat of arms of the City of London proudly stands. The heraldic emblem, a testament to the city's rich history, features two majestic dragons. The dragons, symbolizing strength and protection, have long been associated with London, representing the city's resilience and enduring spirit. In the background, the Tower Bridge, an engineering marvel of the time, spans the Thames River. Its distinctive bascule design and ornate decorations make it an instantly recognizable symbol of London. To the right, the imposing Houses of Parliament and the iconic Big Ben clock tower dominate the skyline, their marble facades reflecting the grandeur and power of the British monarchy. The London Eye, a modern addition to the city's skyline, is conspicuously absent from this postcard, emphasizing the historical significance of the scene. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the city's storied past and its unwavering commitment to preserving its heritage. This postcard, sent from London in 1905, invites us to take a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and its enduring allure. The dragons on the coat of arms serve as a reminder that, like these mythical creatures, London has weathered the test of time, remaining a vibrant and dynamic city that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
