EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1903, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Somerset House located on the north bank of the River Thames in London, England. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, a period of great historical significance for the city. Somerset House, a stunning 16th-century building, stands proudly against the backdrop of the River Thames, its magnificent facade reflecting in the calm, tranquil waters. The intricate details of the building's architecture are on full display, from the ornate carvings adorning the exterior to the grand arches framing the entrance. The north bank of the River Thames, in this photograph, is a hive of activity. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians can be seen making their way along the cobblestone streets, while boats and ships sail peacefully in the river. The Thames, a vital artery of London, bustles with life, adding to the vibrant energy of the scene. October 1903 would have been an especially significant time for Somerset House, as it was during this month that the famous Ice Rink opened in its courtyard. The Ice Rink, a popular attraction for both locals and tourists, would have added to the lively atmosphere captured in this photograph. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm and history of London and Somerset House, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the rich heritage that continues to shape the city today.
