EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Rotten Row, Hyde Park in London during the 20th century. Originally established by William III in the late 17th century as a safe passage between St James Palace and Kensington Palace, Rotten Row evolved into a fashionable hotspot for Londoners to see and be seen while horse riding. The image showcases a picturesque scene with an array of people leisurely strolling along the open space, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees. The park's natural beauty harmonizes perfectly with the elegant architecture of Westminster in the background, creating a mesmerizing juxtaposition. In this snapshot from history, we witness horses gracefully trotting down the lane alongside carriages transporting both people and goods. It is fascinating to observe how transportation has evolved over time, from horse-drawn vehicles to modern road transport systems that now dominate our cities. This postcard serves as a testament to not only the historical significance of Rotten Row but also its enduring charm. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported back in time to an era when nature seamlessly intertwined with urban life. It reminds us of London's rich heritage and its ability to adapt while preserving its iconic landmarks such as Hyde Park.
