EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of the National Liberal Club, located in the heart of Westminster, London. Stepping into the Card Room through this interior view is like entering a world frozen in Victorian elegance. The club, designed by renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse and completed between 1884 and 1887, stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. The image itself was captured by Bedford Lemere and Company in December 1887 as part of a commissioned set for the National Liberal Club. It showcases their expertise in capturing historical moments with remarkable precision. The attention to detail is evident; every corner exudes opulence, from the ornate ceiling adorned with intricate patterns to the lavish furnishings that invite members to engage in card games or simply relax amidst an atmosphere steeped in sophistication. As we gaze upon this album print from Historic England Archive, we are transported back over a century ago when political discussions resonated within these walls. This photograph serves not only as a visual delight but also as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate how architecture can shape society and provides insight into an era where politics mingled seamlessly with refined social gatherings. Let this image be a window into history—a glimpse into an era when power dynamics were negotiated over cards and conversations flowed freely within these hallowed halls at Whitehall Place.
