EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Old House to be demolished in Austin-Friars" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century London. The image, captured by Frank Watkins, showcases a grand historic house that is about to meet its fate. Located in the heart of Austin-Friars, this magnificent structure stands tall with its impressive architecture. Its elegant garden entrance invites us into a world frozen in time. As we explore further, we catch a glimpse of the private office on the ground floor and an intricately designed safe tucked away discreetly. The view from inside reveals a breathtaking sight - a majestic staircase leading up to more rooms filled with stories waiting to be discovered. Every corner exudes an air of history and charm that only these old houses possess. Beyond the main building lies stables where horses once galloped freely. This engraving serves as both documentation and tribute to a bygone era when such structures were commonplace within the bustling City of London. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, it becomes evident that even though progress demands change, it is important for us to remember our heritage. Let this image serve as a reminder of how much beauty can be found in buildings long past their prime – reminding us that every piece holds significance within our collective memory.
