EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1885 by H. Bedford Lemere, offers a glimpse into the past of London's Westminster district, specifically The Strand area, where the elegant Romanos Restaurant once stood. The image transports us back in time, as we behold the Victorian-era architecture that graced the streets over a century ago. The photograph showcases the exterior of Romanos Restaurant, its ornate facade adorned with intricate stonework and ornamental details, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the late 19th century. The building's large, arched windows allow the soft light to filter in, creating an inviting ambiance. Adjacent to the restaurant, a row of buildings with similar architectural features can be seen, adding to the visual appeal of the scene. The cobblestone street, horse-drawn carriages, and well-dressed passersby further emphasize the historical significance of the image. The presence of the Thames River in the background, with its gentle waves lapping against the shore, adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the photograph. The hustle and bustle of London life, however, is evident in the bustling crowds and the various shops and businesses visible in the distance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and architectural beauty of London during the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of the city and the enduring charm of its historic buildings.
