EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print transports us back to the bustling city of Westminster in the late 19th century. The Houses of Parliament, a magnificent example of Victorian Gothic architecture, stand proudly on the banks of the River Thames. The iconic Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, rises above them all, its clock face telling tales of time gone by. In this snapshot from history, steamships gracefully glide along the river's surface, adding a touch of movement to an otherwise still scene. Passengers aboard these paddle steamers are witness to both political power and architectural grandeur as they navigate through London's heart. The unknown creator has expertly captured not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance of this moment. This photograph serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage and its enduring political legacy. As we gaze upon this image at the Art Institute Chicago, we can't help but be transported back in time. We imagine ourselves standing on one of those boats, surrounded by people from all walks of life who have come together to witness history unfold before their eyes. Through this albumen silver print, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with our past. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship behind it but also invites us into a world long gone yet forever preserved within its frame.
