EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of J. Goode and Company Ltd., a Victorian department store nestled in the heart of Mayfair, City of Westminster, at 17-22 South Audley Street. This stunning interior view, captured by the renowned photographer Bedford Lemere in January 1891, invites us to experience the magic of shopping during the late 19th century. The Glass and China Showroom is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the era. The room is filled with an array of exquisite glassware and chinaware, each piece shimmering in the soft, natural light filtering through the large, ornate windows. The high ceilings, adorned with intricate moldings and ornate chandeliers, add to the grandeur of the space. The atmosphere is one of refinement and luxury. Customers, dressed in their finest attire, browse the displays with careful consideration, their reflection in the glass cases adding to the sense of depth and dimension. The salesclerks, impeccably dressed in crisp uniforms, attend to their needs with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. The attention to detail in this photograph is truly remarkable. From the delicate patterns on the chinaware to the intricate designs on the glassware, each item is a work of art in its own right. The wooden display cases, with their glass doors and ornate handles, add to the overall sense of sophistication and luxury. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of retail during the Victorian era. It is a reminder of a time when shopping was an experience, a time when a visit to a department store was an event to be savored and remembered.
