EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Cornelius Van Dun Almshouses in Petty France, London, as they appeared in the late 18th century. The almshouses, a charming example of Elizabethan timber frame architecture, were built by Cornelius Van Dun, a wealthy cooper and almsgiver, in 1595 to provide shelter for 20 poor widows. The image also includes a portrait of Van Dun, who is shown in a miniature painting wearing the attire of a cooper. The monument of Van Dun, located in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, is depicted in the background, adding to the historical significance of the scene. The monument, designed by the renowned miniature painter Samuel Cowper, features an intricate design and an inscription that reads, "Here lyeth the body of Cornelius Van Dun, Cooper, who died the 15th day of February, Anno Domini 1602, Aged 68 years." This beautiful print is a reproduction of an original drawing by members of the Society of Antiquaries, which was created using the copperplate engraving technique by John Thomas Smith. The Society of Antiquaries was a prestigious organization dedicated to the study and preservation of history and antiquities, and this print is a testament to their efforts to document and share the rich history and architecture of London and its environs. The print also includes the names of the publishers, J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco, who were responsible for bringing this historical record to a wider audience. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of London's history and architectural heritage during a time when the city was undergoing significant changes.
