Gezicht op het Palace of Westminster, gezien vanaf de overkant van de Theems c. 1860 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph by York & Son, taken sometime between 1860 and 1880, depicts the Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, from across the River Thames. The image provides a clear view of the iconic clock tower (Big Ben) and the intricate architectural details of the building. The use of stereoscopic photography, which creates a three-dimensional effect, further enhances the viewer's experience, allowing them to feel immersed in the Victorian London scene. This vintage postcard-style image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing a moment in time when London was a bustling hub of industry and politics.
