EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic bay window of Boodles Club, a prestigious gentlemen's club in London. The photograph, taken around 1900, transports us back to an era of elegance and refinement. Boodles Club was established in 1762 by Lord Shelburne, who would later become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but imagine the countless conversations and gatherings that took place within these walls over centuries. The club house itself is a masterpiece of architectural design. Designed by John Crunden in 1775, it stands proudly on St James Street with its grandeur and sophistication. The intricate railings, imposing columns, and majestic balcony add to its charm. This print captures not only the physical beauty of Boodles Club but also reflects the essence of British heritage. It symbolizes a time when gentlemen gathered here to discuss politics, engage in intellectual debates or simply enjoy each other's company. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece from Living London Vol. 1 edited by George R. Sims (published in 1901), we are reminded of how architecture can tell stories about our past. This image serves as a reminder that even after more than two centuries since its founding, Boodles Club remains an emblematic institution where tradition meets modernity—a testament to its enduring legacy as one of the oldest gentlemen's clubs in existence today.
