EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Strand Lane and the entrance to the Roman Bath in Westminster, London. The image showcases the Old Watch House, also known as St Clements Watch House, standing proudly near the River Thames. Behind the elegant railings lies a fascinating piece of history - a 17th-century cistern that was mistakenly believed to be a Roman bath. This cistern once supplied water to Somerset House's magnificent fountains. The photograph, taken around 1935 by an unknown creator, is part of "Wonderful London, Volume 3", edited by Arthur St John Adcock. It beautifully portrays an architectural gem nestled amidst bustling city life. The balconies and windows of nearby buildings add character to this picturesque scene. Strand Lane itself exudes charm with its narrow alleyway leading towards ancient wonders. As you gaze at this monochrome masterpiece, you can almost imagine yourself transported back in time to when Romans roamed these streets centuries ago. This print is not just a visual delight; it is also a testament to Britain's rich heritage and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that even within modern cities like London, traces of our past are waiting to be discovered and cherished for generations to come.
