EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of London in 1890. The Houses of Parliament, beautifully captured by artist Hume Nisbet, stand proudly on the banks of the River Thames. As evening sets in, the iconic Westminster Bridge stretches across the river, connecting bustling city streets. In this snapshot from a bygone era, we catch a glimpse of British politics and society at that time. People can be seen going about their daily lives, with boats gracefully gliding along the river as a mode of transportation. The grandeur of Westminster Palace looms in the background, casting an air of importance over this historic location. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this 19th-century scene. Big Ben's famous clock tower stands tall amidst its surroundings, marking not only the hour but also an enduring symbol of Britain's rich heritage. This photogravure print is part of Percy Fitzgerald's "Picturesque London" collection and showcases Nisbet's artistic prowess in capturing architectural beauty and atmospheric charm. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass and cities evolve, there are certain landmarks like these Houses of Parliament that remain steadfast through centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it allows us to appreciate both the history and artistry encapsulated within its frame—a testament to our collective human story woven into every brick and stone standing before us.
