EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting St Helena tea gardens in Lower Road, Rotherhithe, London, circa 1860. The anonymous photographer skillfully captures the essence of this 19th-century British gem with a burst of color and life. The image showcases a picturesque avenue lined with charming buildings that exude Victorian charm. As we stroll along this historic lane, we are transported to a bygone era where nature intertwines effortlessly with urbanity. Towering trees provide shade and serenity as couples leisurely wander through the garden, savoring moments of tranquility amidst bustling city life. The St Helena tea house stands proudly at the heart of this idyllic setting, offering respite and refreshment for weary travelers or those seeking solace from their daily routines. Its inviting presence beckons visitors to step inside and indulge in the pleasures of afternoon tea. In every corner of this scene lies an air of romance and nostalgia; it is as if time has stood still within these walls. The watercolor-like quality adds an ethereal touch to the photograph, enhancing its dreamlike allure. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's archives, this snapshot allows us to glimpse into a forgotten chapter in London's history - one filled with rambling walks through verdant landscapes and cherished moments spent over cups of steaming tea.
