Liberty, London - a photo on Flickriver

Liberty, London

            Liberty is this context has nothing to do with freedom. It was the last name of the founder of the London department store that bears his name - Arthur Lasenby Liberty - and it was established in 1875, primarily as a seller of luxury goods and fabrics and it still exists today with that reputation intact.

From the history page of the Liberty website:
Liberty's collection of ornaments, fabric and objets d'art from around the world proved irresistible to a society intoxicated at the time by Japan and the East and Liberty effected social change in interior design and dress, so much so that the Art Nouveau period in Italy is called 'Liberty Style'. 

This shot is of an overhead walkway that connects two buildings of the store and can be found on Kingly Street, just off Regent Street.
