Marble Arch, Hyde Park Corner, London - Early 1900s: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the iconic Marble Arch at Hyde Park Corner in London during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Marble Arch, a neoclassical triumphal arch, was originally built in 1828 as the entrance to Buckingham Palace. However, in 1851, it was moved to its current location at the southern end of Hyde Park, acting as the entrance to Hyde Park. The image reveals a bustling scene of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, all gathered around the Marble Arch. The arch itself is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, making it a true architectural marvel. In the foreground, a street vendor sells lanterns, while a horse-drawn carriage waits patiently for its next fare. The vintage lanterns add a warm, inviting glow to the scene, creating a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past. The early 1900s were a time of great change in London, with the city undergoing rapid modernization. Yet, this photograph captures the charm and character of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, providing a fascinating window into history. As you gaze upon this image, take a moment to imagine the sounds, smells, and sensations of London during this time. The clatter of horse hooves, the crisp autumn leaves underfoot, and the sweet aroma of roasting chestnuts wafting through the air. This photograph is not just a beautiful work of art, but a portal to the past, inviting us to explore the rich history of Marble Arch and Hyde Park Corner in London.
