EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the laying of a memorial stone on Battersea Bridge by Prince Albert Victor of Wales in 1887. The image, taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and importance of this event. In the foreground, elegantly dressed men strike a pose for the camera, their presence adding to the sense of occasion. Among them stands Sir Joseph Bazalgette, known for his contributions to civil engineering. Meanwhile, in the background, we catch a glimpse of Prince Albert Victor's coat of arms alongside other emblems belonging to members of the royal family. Battersea Bridge itself serves as an impressive backdrop to this historic moment. Its architectural beauty is accentuated by its non-habitable structure status. This print offers us a rare glimpse into London's past and allows us to appreciate both its iconic bridges and its rich royal heritage. Preserved by eLondon Metropolitan Archives and made available through Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, this image invites viewers to delve into history while marveling at the skillful artistry behind early photography techniques. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane events can hold great significance when captured through skilled lensmanship.
