EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white aquatint print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Bankside, near London Bridge and St Saviours Dock in Southwark, London. The year is 1810, a time when these old houses stood as proud testaments to British architecture. With their intricate details and timeless charm, they exude an air of history that transports us to a bygone era. The monochrome palette adds depth to this image, emphasizing the stark contrast between the buildings and the river Thames that flows gracefully alongside them. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of water against the riverbank. Boats dotting the river serve as reminders of how crucial water transport was during this period. They add life and movement to an otherwise still snapshot frozen in time. Located on South Bank, these houses offer a glimpse into England's rich cultural heritage. Their exteriors tell stories of lives lived within their walls – tales of families, dreams, and aspirations that have shaped this country's narrative. Preserved for centuries at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this anonymous artwork invites us to explore our past through its intricate details. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there are pockets where history remains alive – waiting patiently for those who seek it out.
