EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the charming Nell Gwynne's house in Bagnigge Wells, St Pancras, London, in 1865. The artist behind this exquisite piece is Waldo Sargeant. In the foreground of the image, a man can be seen sitting by a hand-pushed barrow, adding a touch of rustic life to the scene. Legend has it that Nell Gwynne once used this very house as her summer residence. Steeped in history and allure, this building stands as a testament to the vibrant past of Bagnigge Wells. During its heyday from 1760 until the late eighteenth century, this popular spa attracted visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this nineteenth-century snapshot. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to a time when rural landscapes dotted with quaint buildings like these were commonplace. Waldo Sargeant's watercolour technique beautifully captures every intricate detail of Nell Gwynne's house. From its sturdy walls to its inviting door, each element tells a story of days gone by. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery archives, this photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It allows us to glimpse into London's past while honoring the legacy of one of England's most beloved figures - Eleanor "Nell". Gwynne.
