EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Houses, King Street, near the Black Gate" by John Storey takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This pen and ink artwork showcases a charming scene of clothes shops nestled within old buildings adjacent to the iconic Black Gate. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the essence of this medieval setting. The focal point of the image lies on two remarkable timber-framed buildings, including a corner house that exudes an air of antiquity. These structures stand as remnants from centuries past, evoking a sense of history and heritage. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along King Street, adding life and movement to the composition. This street scene offers a glimpse into British architecture during this era, showcasing the unique charm and character found in northern England towns. The drawing beautifully depicts the cityscape with its intricate details and skillful use of shading. It is worth noting that Storey painted this piece based on a sketch made in 1855 before significant urban development took place in St Nicholas Street. As such, it serves as both an artistic representation and historical record of Newcastle's evolving landscape. This artwork transports viewers back in time while celebrating Britain's rich architectural heritage and capturing everyday life in one snapshot.
