EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere in December 1887, offers a glimpse into the newly completed Reading Room of the National Liberal Club in London. Located at Whitehall Place, Westminster, the architectural masterpiece was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, a renowned Victorian architect known for his distinctive neo-Gothic style. The image showcases the grandeur and elegance of the Reading Room, with its ornate decorative elements that epitomize the Victorian era. The room is filled with an abundance of natural light, streaming in through the large windows, casting a warm glow on the richly upholstered chairs and tables. The intricately carved columns add to the room's regal ambiance, while the high ceiling adorned with elaborate frescoes and gilded details creates a sense of grandeur and sophistication. The furniture, with its dark wood finish and plush fabrics, exudes a sense of comfort and luxury. The table in the foreground, with its polished surface and ornate legs, is the perfect setting for a quiet afternoon of reading or engaging in intellectual discourse. The overall effect is one of tranquility and refinement, making the Reading Room an ideal space for members to retreat from the bustling city outside. This photograph is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the design and construction of the National Liberal Club. Bedford Lemere's skillful use of light and composition captures the essence of the space, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance over a century later.
