EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur and opulence of the Victorian era. The image captures a stunning interior detail of the National Liberal Club, located in Whitehall Place, Westminster, London. Designed by renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse and built between 1884 and 1887, this iconic club stands as a testament to Victorian architectural brilliance. The focal point of this photograph is an exquisite fireplace adorned with intricate carvings and embellishments that exude elegance. The roaring fire within adds warmth to the room while casting dancing shadows on the walls. Adjacent to the fireplace is a collonaded corner niche, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Smoking Room depicted here emanates an air of sophistication and refinement. It serves as a sanctuary for members seeking relaxation amidst luxurious surroundings. Every element within this space has been carefully curated to create an atmosphere conducive to contemplation and camaraderie. Commissioned by the National Liberal Club itself in December 1887, this image was captured by Bedford Lemere and Company – pioneers in architectural photography during that era. Preserved within Historic England Archive's vast collection, it offers us a glimpse into a time when social clubs were at their zenith. As we admire this remarkable snapshot from history, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as part of our cultural heritage.
