EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique aerial view of Kingston-upon-Thames in 1907, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the historic town from a perspective rarely seen during that time. The image, likely taken from a kite rather than an actual aeroplane due to the early stage of aviation development in the UK at that time, offers a bird's eye view of Kingston-upon-Thames and its picturesque surroundings.
From this vantage point, one can see the meandering River Thames winding its way through the town, with charming buildings lining its banks and lush greenery dotting the landscape. The tranquility of this riverside town is palpable even from above, as if frozen in time for all to admire.
The date stamp on this photograph further adds to its allure, transporting us back over a century ago to November 15th, 1907. It serves as a visual time capsule, preserving a moment in history when technology was rapidly advancing and offering new perspectives on familiar places.
Whether you have personal ties to Kingston-upon-Thames or simply appreciate historical photography, this stunning aerial view is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back to turn-of-the-century England.
