EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of the Council Chamber in Spring Gardens, Westminster. Taken by renowned photographer Bedford Lemere in 1890, this photograph showcases the exquisite interior design created for London County Council by architect J Blashill. The Council Chamber was a symbol of political power and influence during its time. As we gaze upon this image, we can imagine the heated debates and important decisions that took place within these walls. The ornate detailing on the ceiling and walls exudes elegance, while the rows of plush seats indicate a space designed for collaboration and discussion. London County Council played a significant role in shaping the city's development during its existence from 1889 until it moved to County Hall in Lambeth later on. This historic institution took over from the Metropolitan Board of Works and made Spring Gardens its headquarters near Trafalgar Square. Bedford Lemere's skillful photography captures not only architectural beauty but also a sense of history frozen in time. This print serves as a reminder of London's rich political heritage and how it has evolved over time. As we admire this remarkable image, let us appreciate both Bedford Lemere's artistry behind capturing such an iconic moment as well as reflect on how politics have shaped our society throughout history.
