EDITORS COMMENTS
This montage, created in 1875, showcases a breathtaking collection of London's most iconic landmarks. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a unique perspective of the city's rich history. At the heart of this vibrant composition lies Westminster Abbey, a Gothic masterpiece and the coronation church of England since 1066. Its intricate stonework and majestic towers have stood the test of time, making it an enduring symbol of the nation's history and heritage. To the right, the imposing figure of Temple Bar, the historic gateway to the City of London, proudly stands guard. Originally built in the late 16th century, this ornate structure was a symbol of the city's defensive fortifications and served as a reminder of the boundary between the City and the rural county of Middlesex. Dominating the left side of the montage, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben take centre stage. Completed in 1859 and 1858 respectively, these iconic structures are synonymous with British democracy and political power. The clock tower, known as Big Ben, is an enduring symbol of London and the UK, its chiming bells marking the passage of time for over a century and a half. This stunning montage, captured in 1875, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing London's landmarks as they appeared over a century ago. A testament to the city's rich history and enduring charm, it remains a fascinating reminder of the past and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
