EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Bromley College, a historic almshouse located in Kent, England. Created by John Bayly in the late 18th century, this etching and engraving showcases the front elevation of the magnificent building. Bromley College stands as a testament to British architecture from that era, exuding an air of elegance and charm. The intricate details on its exterior are beautifully captured in this monochrome image, highlighting the craftsmanship of its construction. Originally built as a charitable institution or almshouse, Bromley College served as a haven for those in need during the 18th century. Its purpose was to provide shelter and support to individuals who were less fortunate. This concept of charity is reflected not only in its architectural design but also in the historical significance it holds within Britain's heritage. The print is part of Edward Hasted's renowned publication "The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent" which documented various landmarks across Kent during that time period. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into both history and artistry. As we admire this image by John Bayly, we are transported back to an era where philanthropy played a vital role in society. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, buildings like Bromley College continue to inspire awe with their timeless beauty and enduring legacy.
