Sepia postcard of the Hotel Russell on Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London, viewed through bare winter trees from the garden. The grand Victorian terracotta baroque facade — designed by Charles Fitzroy Doll and opened in 1900 — fills the frame, its turrets, dormers, and richly ornamented upper stories rising above the square's garden benches. A Union Jack flies from the central tower. Hotel's own postcard: "Telephone No. Museum 1000 P.B.E. / Telegrams: Hotel Russell, London."
