EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Masters Lodge of Charterhouse, located in London during the year 1885. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than John Crowther, who skillfully captures the essence of this historic building. Charterhouse, an almshouse and charitable institution established in the 14th century, stands as a symbol of compassion and education for those in need. This watercolour image beautifully portrays its exterior, highlighting its architectural grandeur amidst a bustling street scene. The color palette chosen by Crowther adds depth and character to the composition. The soft lighting from nearby streetlights casts a warm glow on the lodge's facade, creating an inviting atmosphere despite its association with poverty and poor relief. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century London - a time when institutions like Charterhouse played a vital role in supporting society's most vulnerable members. It serves as a reminder that even amidst hardship, there were places dedicated to providing shelter and education for those less fortunate. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection today, this image allows us to appreciate both Crowther's artistic talent and Charterhouse's historical significance. It offers us glimpses into an era long gone while reminding us of our collective responsibility towards helping others in times of need.
