EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Bishop Burnet's House in St Johns Square, Clerkenwell, London, around 1900. The house belonged to Gilbert Burnet (1643-1715), a renowned Scottish philosopher, historian, and cleric who held the esteemed position of Bishop of Salisbury from 1689. Throughout his career, he enjoyed the favor of both Charles II and William III but unfortunately fell out of royal favor during Queen Anne's reign. The photograph showcases the impressive architecture and religious significance associated with this historic building. Standing tall amidst a lush natural setting adorned with trees and plants, it exudes an air of tranquility that is characteristic of British country estates. The intricate details on its exterior are beautifully captured in monochrome tones. Bishop Burnet's House serves as a testament to England's rich Christian heritage and stands as a reminder of the influential figures who shaped its history. This image allows us to glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 17th century when this magnificent structure was at its prime. Preserved through time by Sir Walter Besant in his book "London - North of the Thames" this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only architectural marvels but also significant cultural landmarks like Bishop Burnet's House.
