EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Abbotts Hospital in Guildford, dating back to the 19th century. The architectural masterpiece was designed by Shury & Son, capturing the essence of Jacobean style with its striking gable and facade. Originally known as the Hospital of the Blessed Trinity, this building was constructed under the patronage of George Abbot, who later became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1611. Abbotts Hospital served as a haven for elderly individuals during that time period when "hospital" referred to a shelter or refuge rather than a medical institution. This monochrome engraving beautifully captures the exterior of this historic retirement home, highlighting its grandeur and timeless charm. The print collector George Sidney Shepherd skillfully immortalized this remarkable piece of architecture from both the 17th and 19th centuries. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate every intricate feature that makes Abbotts Hospital truly unique. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship and elegance were paramount. It serves as a testament to our rich architectural heritage and reminds us of how buildings like Abbotts Hospital continue to stand tall amidst modernity.
