The Embankment, London on wet night with Policeman and Trams
A truly superb postcard photograph of The Embankment, London on wet night. The lights cast a strange eerie glow on the scene, magnified through the windows of a row of parked trams. A policeman stands sentinel in the mid-foreground, turned toward the photographer, close to a lit sign warning pedestrians that cars will be crossing the road. An early example of pedestrian street furniture. Date: circa 1920

EDITORS COMMENTS
This superb postcard photograph captures the atmospheric allure of The Embankment in London during a wet night in the early 1920s. The scene is bathed in an eerie glow as the lights cast long, reflective pools on the wet streets. A row of stationary trams, their windows reflecting the misty surroundings, add to the moody composition. In the mid-foreground, a policeman stands sentinel, turned towards the photographer, near a lit sign warning pedestrians of approaching cars. This early example of pedestrian street furniture creates a sense of history and adds to the intrigue of the scene. The reflections in the puddles and the trams' windows magnify the lighting, creating a truly mesmerizing image. The composition of this photograph is both historical and atmospheric, transporting us back in time to a bygone era.
