EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite continuation of a staircase, leading from the grand hall to the upper floors of Fairfax House in High Street, Putney. Created by John Phillipp Emslie in 1887 using pencil on paper, this architectural drawing showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship that adorned this magnificent building. The image holds a sense of nostalgia as it reveals an era long gone, with Fairfax House standing proudly amidst its surroundings. However, there is also a tinge of sadness attached to it - as noted in the additional information - for we learn that this beautiful structure was about to be destroyed. Every line and stroke in this artwork tells a story. The carefully sketched steps seem to beckon us upwards towards hidden treasures waiting on higher levels. The symmetrical design exudes elegance and sophistication while showcasing the skillful mastery of Emslie's hand. Fairfax House stands as a testament to Victorian architecture, embodying both strength and grace. Its presence on High Street adds charm and character to its surroundings. This print serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and invites us into an era where attention to detail reigned supreme. Preserved within private collections today, this piece allows us glimpses into history through artistry. It reminds us not only of what once was but also encourages reflection upon how we preserve our architectural treasures for future generations.
