EDITORS COMMENTS
St James's Street: Levee Day captures the vibrant spirit of early 20th century London, as depicted in this print by Rose Maynard Barton. The image transports us back to a time when grandeur and elegance were at their peak. The bustling St James's Street comes alive on Levee Day, an occasion that marked the opening of Parliament and attracted the city's elite. Dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, men adorned with top hats and tails can be seen strolling along the street, exuding sophistication and charm. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as carriages line up outside prestigious establishments like White's Club and Boodle's. Barton masterfully captures every intricate detail of this momentous day. From the ornate architecture lining both sides of the street to the meticulously dressed pedestrians, each element contributes to a sense of opulence and refinement that defined Edwardian society. This extraordinary piece was originally created as an illustration for Familiar London, a publication that sought to showcase different aspects of England's capital city. Its inclusion in private collections has allowed us to appreciate Barton’s talent for capturing historical moments through her artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time – immersed in an era where tradition met modernity on St James’s Street during Levee Day.
