EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the iconic Claridges Hotel in Mayfair, Westminster, London, circa 1877. Originally known as Mivarts Hotel when founded in 1812, it was later renamed after Mr and Mrs Claridge purchased it in 1854. The hotel gained prestige when Empress Eugenie made an extended visit and entertained Queen Victoria here in 1860. In 1894, Richard D Oyly Carte, founder of the rival Savoy Hotel, acquired Claridges and replaced the original building with the magnificent hotel that still stands today. Opening its doors to guests in 1898, Claridges became synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. During World War II, this esteemed establishment served as a base for the Kingdom of Yugoslavia's forces in exile and was home to King Peter II of Yugoslavia. The monochrome image showcases the grandeur of Victorian architecture amidst a bustling cityscape. With its elegant design and prime location in Mayfair's prestigious neighborhood, Claridges remains a symbol of British sophistication even into the nineteenth century. This engraving is sourced from "Old and New London Illustrated" by Edward Walford (1878), published by Cassell Petter & Galpin. It offers us a glimpse into history while preserving memories of this timeless landmark.
