EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Richmond Bridge in London, England, circa 1890s. The black-and-white photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the past as boats navigate the gentle curve of the Thames River beneath the bridge's elegant arches. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of a lantern, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. Richmond Bridge, a beautiful example of Victorian engineering, was opened in 1777 and remains a cherished landmark in London's rich history. Its distinctive design, featuring seven arches, has made it a favorite subject for photographers and artists for centuries. This photograph invites us to imagine a day trip to London during the 1890s. The tranquil scene on the river contrasts with the bustling city life that would have surrounded visitors. The boats, with their sails furled and their masts lowered, suggest a leisurely outing, perhaps a picnic on the riverbank or a stroll along the riverbanks. The Boswell Collection, a treasure trove of historical images, offers a unique window into the past. This photograph of Richmond Bridge and the boats on the curve of the Thames River is a testament to the enduring beauty of London and the allure of a day trip to this iconic city.
