EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian era in London. The image showcases the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece that has stood as a symbol of resilience and faith in the heart of the city since the late 17th century. Adorning the serene waters of the River Thames is a traditional Thames barge, adding a picturesque touch to the scene. Dating back to the 16th century, these sailing barges were once an essential mode of transportation for goods and people in London. The one depicted in this photograph, with its distinctive tall mast and lantern, embodies the charm and character of the Edwardian period. The vintage lantern on the barge casts a warm, inviting glow, illuminating the waters and creating an enchanting contrast against the dark, starry night sky. The early hours of the morning, as seen in this photograph, were a popular time for barges to make their way along the Thames, as the tides were most favorable for sailing. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into London's rich history and the daily life of its inhabitants during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The harmonious blend of the historic cathedral and the traditional Thames barge is a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of this iconic city.
