EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to c1935, showcasing the fascinating exhibition of "What Londoners Used To Wear" at Lancaster House. Formerly known as York House and Stafford House, this magnificent building in St James's, central London served as the Costume Gallery during that period. Once given to the nation in 1914, Lancaster House became home to the renowned London Museum from 1924 until shortly after World War II. Within these glass cases lie remnants of a bygone era - leather shoes, apprentices caps, and even a horseman from the Sedgemoor period dating back to the 1680s. The architectural beauty of this mansion is evident throughout its interior decoration and design. The monochrome setting adds an air of nostalgia as we delve into the history of fashion worn by our predecessors. This image is extracted from "Wonderful London, Volume 2" edited by Arthur St John Adcock. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of how much has changed over the years while also highlighting our shared heritage. It serves as a testament to British culture and offers insight into what life was like for previous generations living in this vibrant city. Let us cherish these glimpses into history captured within Lancashire House's walls – a treasure trove that continues to educate and inspire visitors today.
