EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling River Thames in London, England, during the year 1865. The image showcases a magnificent vessel named Alexandra, which was operated by The Saloon Steam Packet Company for passenger traffic on this iconic river. Published in The Illustrated London News of that era, this archival piece offers a glimpse into the transportation system of the 19th century. The Alexandra stands tall and proud with its paddle wheels churning through the water, symbolizing an era when steam-powered vessels were at their peak. This historical illustration captures the essence of a bygone era when river transport played a vital role in connecting people across different parts of London. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time where passengers would board these elegant steamers for leisurely trips along the River Thames. With its ornate design and grandeur, it is evident why Alexandra was chosen as one of the preferred modes of transport for those seeking both comfort and style. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress in transportation technology during that period. It reminds us how far we have come while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when paddle steamers like Alexandra ruled over these historic waters.
