EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting postcard view of the Pool of London, captured in the 1910s. The iconic Tower Bridge spans the River Thames, connecting the north and south banks of London. The atmospheric scene is filled with the hustle and bustle of trade and commerce. Jetties and wharves line the riverside, bustling with activity as men load and unload sacks and baskets from barges. The waterfront is a mosaic of textures and shapes, with the rough timber of the jetties contrasting against the smooth, misty surface of the Thames. In the foreground, a tugboat nudges a steamer into position, ready to take on cargo. The steamship's smokestacks puff out plumes of white steam, adding to the misty, ethereal atmosphere. The scene is bathed in soft, diffused light, casting long, dramatic shadows across the water. The Pool of London was a hub of maritime trade and commerce, and this postcard offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the river was the lifeblood of the city. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of London's waterfront, and a reminder of the rich history that lies within its midst.
