EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of the Thames River at Charing Cross in London during the year 1926. The image, titled "The Thames: Charing Cross by Night," transports us back in time to an era of elegance and romance. Charing Cross, a major road junction and rail terminus in central London, is named after the historic Charing Cross Eleanor Cross, which once stood nearby. The cross was erected by King Edward III in memory of his queen, Eleanor of Castile, in 1295. The area has been a significant part of London's history for centuries, and the Thames has always been an integral part of its identity. In this photograph, the Thames glimmers under the soft light of the moon and the street lamps, reflecting the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps. The illuminated buildings along the riverbank, such as the Charing Cross Hospital and the Houses of Parliament, add to the magical atmosphere. The silhouette of the Big Ben clock tower can also be seen in the distance, marking the passage of time. The photograph was taken in 1926, a year that marked significant events in British history, including the General Strike and the opening of the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and charm of London during a bygone era. The photograph's historical significance and aesthetic appeal make it a valuable addition to any collection of London or British history. It invites us to reflect on the rich history of this iconic city and the many stories that have unfolded along the banks of the Thames.
