EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of nineteenth-century London. The image showcases the old Whittington College almshouses, a remarkable example of Gothic Revival architecture, nestled at the foot of Highgate Hill. Built in 1822 by the prestigious Mercers Company, this enchanting engraving beautifully captures the essence of city life during that era. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship evident in this piece are a testament to Thomas Dale's talent as an engraver. He expertly translated Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's original study onto paper, immortalizing these historic almshouses for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where horse-drawn carts were a common sight on cobblestone streets. The hustle and bustle of daily life is palpable; one can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves and feel the energy emanating from every corner. Bernard Allum has masterfully preserved this slice of history through his careful curation and presentation. This antique print serves as a window into London's past, allowing us to appreciate both its architectural heritage and its vibrant urban landscape. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within our own homes, this exquisite artwork invites us to marvel at London's rich history while reminding us that even amidst progress and change, traces of our past continue to shape our present.
