EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Alms House, 1855" takes us back in time to the 17th century. Created by Joseph Cundall, a renowned photographer of the 19th century, this albumen silver print captures the architectural beauty of an almshouse in East Grinstead, West Sussex, England. The image showcases a couple standing at the entrance of the almshouse doorway. The elderly man and woman exude grace and dignity as they pose for their portrait. Ivy gracefully climbs up the walls of this Jacobean-style building, adding a touch of nature's charm to its historical significance. Sackville College is prominently featured in this photograph - a place that has served as a charitable institution since its establishment in the seventeenth century. The retired residents who once called it home are captured here with warmth and respect. Joseph Cundall's expertise shines through his composition, capturing not only the physical structure but also conveying a sense of heritage and history. This stunning piece is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection where it continues to be admired for its artistic value. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to an era when charity was valued and architecture spoke volumes about society's commitment to caring for those less fortunate. It serves as a poignant reminder that compassion transcends time and remains an integral part of our collective humanity.
