EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Southern Suburbs" and taken around 1878, offers a glimpse into the architectural wonders of Southwark and Lambeth in south London. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. In this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when Battersea Park boasted a sub-tropical garden that must have been a true oasis amidst the bustling city. St Thomas Hospital stands proudly in the frame, showcasing its grandeur as one of Southwark's landmarks. Adjacent to it is St Saviours or Southwark Cathedral, with its magnificent spires reaching towards the heavens. And not far away lies Lambeth Palace, exuding an aura of religious importance. This photograph was originally featured in Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" which aimed to chronicle the rich heritage and diverse landscapes that shaped England's capital city during the 19th century. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece captured by an anonymous photographer long ago, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while also appreciating how these iconic structures still stand tall today. This image serves as a visual testament to both our architectural history and our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time.
