EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting world of Victorian Scotland, specifically to Mrs Cranstons Tea Rooms on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Taken in 1897, this image showcases the lower tea room of this iconic establishment, offering a glimpse into its elegant and inviting atmosphere. The scene is bathed in soft light streaming through large windows adorned with delicate lace curtains. The meticulously arranged tables are draped with crisp white tablecloths, each set with fine china teacups and saucers. Ornate silverware glimmers under the gentle glow of chandeliers hanging from the intricately decorated ceiling. As we peer closer, we notice patrons engaged in animated conversations while enjoying their afternoon tea. Dressed impeccably in fashionable attire of the era, they exude an air of refinement and sophistication. The aroma of freshly brewed tea blends harmoniously with the sweet scent of pastries that temptingly adorn a nearby display counter. Mrs Cranstons Tea Rooms were renowned for providing not only delectable refreshments but also a sanctuary where people could gather to socialize or find solace amidst bustling city life. This photograph captures that essence perfectly – an oasis where time seems to stand still as visitors indulge in moments of tranquility and indulgence. Preserved by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this snapshot offers us a window into Victorian society's leisurely pursuits while celebrating one woman's vision for creating spaces that fostered connection over cups of steaming tea
