EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by the renowned interiors photographer Bedford Lemere in December 1887, captures the exquisite detail of the fireplace and dais in the Gladstone Library of the National Liberal Club in London. The National Liberal Club, located at Whitehall Place in the City of Westminster, was designed by the distinguished architect Alfred Waterhouse and completed just a few months prior to this image being taken. The fireplace, a magnificent Victorian creation, is the focal point of the room, its intricate design a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The fireplace's ornate columns, adorned with intricate carvings, frame the opening, drawing the eye to the hearth below. The mantelpiece, with its delicate mouldings and ornate detailing, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the space. The dais, a raised platform situated in front of the fireplace, is a traditional feature of grand Victorian libraries. It was designed to provide a space for important guests to sit and be served, reflecting the club's status as a hub of political and social activity. The richly upholstered chairs, with their high backs and sumptuous fabrics, add to the sense of opulence and comfort. The decorative details of the room, from the intricate plasterwork on the ceiling to the ornate wood panelling, are all beautifully captured in this photograph. The play of light and shadow, created by the soft natural light filtering in through the tall windows, adds depth and texture to the image, making it a truly captivating glimpse into the past.
