Greetings Card : St Georges Hall OP02751
Cards from Historic England
St Georges Hall OP02751
St Georges Hall, St Georges Plateau, Liverpool, 1854-55. Attributed to Thomas Sutton (1819-75), salted paper print. Cabs stand outside the newly built neoclassical St Georges Hall, designed by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes and completed by Charles Robert Cockerell. The building, combining a public hall and law courts, was erected between 1841 and 1856. The photograph is attributed to Thomas Sutton because the original mount bears the name of the Frenchman Louis-Desire Blanquart-Evrard, who published some of Suttons negatives in 1854. Sutton and Blanquart-Evrard opened a printing establishment on Jersey in 1855, and launched the journal Photographic Notes the following year. Sutton was a prolific writer on photography, and published A Dictionary of Photography in 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of St Georges Hall in Liverpool, a magnificent neoclassical structure that has stood the test of time. Designed by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes and completed by Charles Robert Cockerell, this architectural masterpiece combines both a public hall and law courts within its walls. The cabs lined up outside the newly built hall add a touch of liveliness to the scene, showcasing the bustling activity surrounding this iconic landmark. Attributed to Thomas Sutton, one of photography's pioneers, this salted paper print is truly a testament to his skill and vision. Interestingly, it is believed that Louis-Desire Blanquart-Evrard published some of Sutton's negatives in 1854 under his own name. This particular photograph bears Blanquart-Evrard's name on its original mount. Sutton's contribution to photography extended beyond capturing stunning images like this one; he was also an accomplished writer on the subject. In fact, he authored "A Dictionary of Photography" in 1858, further solidifying his place in photographic history. As we gaze upon this archival image from Historic England, we are transported back to Victorian times when columns and porticos were symbols of elegance and sophistication. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also of how far photography has come since its early days.
