EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this early pictorial postcard capturing the breathtaking views of London's iconic landmarks from the late 1890s. The scene showcases a panoramic view of the River Thames, with the Tower Bridge, Guildhall, and the Tower of London proudly standing as the city's most cherished treasures. The Tower Bridge, opened just three short years prior in 1894, is a marvel of engineering, showcasing its distinctive bascule design as a steamship gracefully passes beneath. The bridge's elegant towers and suspension cables add to the overall charm of this image. To the left, the historic Guildhall, with its beautiful courtyard, stands tall, a symbol of London's rich history and tradition. The Guildhall, home to the City of London Corporation, has been a significant part of the city's political and social fabric for centuries. The Tower of London, an iconic fortress and historic monument, is also prominently featured in the background. Its imposing walls and towering turrets have stood the test of time, bearing witness to countless stories of history and legend. This early postcard, with its court card sizing, offers a unique glimpse into London's past, transporting us back to the 1890s when the city was a bustling hub of activity, with steamships, paddle steamers, and riverboats plying the River Thames, adding to the hustle and bustle of the scene.
