EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of St Stephens Chapel and the Speakers House in Westminster, London, dating back to 1834. The image offers a unique view from the River Thames, showcasing the architectural beauty of these iconic buildings. Published in Parliament Past and Present by Arnold Wright and Philip Smith around 1905, this print provides a glimpse into London's rich history. In the foreground, we see various boats on the river including a barge and rowing boat manned by oarsmen. The Union Jack flag proudly flutters atop one of the vessels, symbolizing Britain's strength and heritage. This scene highlights not only transportation along the river but also reflects political significance as it showcases both Houses of Parliament. The presence of men in this photo suggests their occupation or profession related to politics or religion due to their proximity to such important landmarks. The religious aspect is emphasized by St Stephens Chapel with its striking architecture standing tall beside Speaker's House. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image while capturing intricate details of each building's exterior design. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an era when royalty resided within these walls. Overall, this remarkable snapshot encapsulates not just physical structures but also political power dynamics that have shaped British history for centuries. It serves as a testament to London's enduring legacy as well as its geographical features alongside River Thames - an integral part of city life since ancient times.
