EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the Albert and Edward Museum in London. The photograph, part of the Boswell Collection (Box 35), captures the grandeur and historical significance of this esteemed institution. The Albert and Edward Museum, located in Kensington, was established in 1891 as a memorial to Prince Albert and Prince Edward, the Prince of Wales. The museum was dedicated to the arts and sciences, and its impressive collection spanned various disciplines, including archaeology, ethnography, and natural history. In this photograph, we see the exterior of the museum's imposing facade, adorned with intricate architectural details and ornate decorations. The building's red brick walls and white stone accents create a striking contrast against the blue sky, while the large windows allow ample natural light to filter in. The image also reveals the museum's iconic clock tower, which served as a prominent landmark in the Kensington area. The clock tower's clock face, with its Roman numerals and ornate hands, adds a sense of order and precision to the scene. The Albert and Edward Museum played a vital role in London's cultural landscape during the late 19th century, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this institution and the era in which it thrived.
