EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image captures the iconic Army and Navy Stores on Victoria Street in Westminster, as seen from Francis Street. It is a snapshot frozen in time, transporting us to the year 1895. The grandeur of the building is evident, with its imposing architecture standing tall against the cityscape. The store's name proudly displayed above its entrance serves as a reminder of its significance during that era. Shoppers would flock to this renowned department store for their every need, seeking out fashionable clothing, household goods, and more. As we peer into this historical moment through the lens of an English photographer from the 19th century, we are reminded of how much has changed over time. The horse-drawn carriages lining the street have been replaced by modern vehicles; gas lamps have given way to electric lights. Yet despite these changes, there is a timeless quality about this image that resonates with viewers today. It reminds us of our shared history and allows us to appreciate how far we have come while also cherishing elements of our past that continue to shape our present. This remarkable print serves as a window into another world – one filled with nostalgia and intrigue – inviting us to explore and imagine what life was like in Victorian London over a century ago.
