EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print, titled "Remains of the Old Priory and Mathematical School, Christ's Hospital," showcases the historic architecture of Newgate Street in the City of London. The image, created by the skilled hand of Samuel Ireland in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Britain's past. The Old Priory and Mathematical School of Christ's Hospital are prominently featured in the print. Originally founded in the 16th century, Christ's Hospital was a charitable institution that provided education and shelter for children in need. The Old Priory served as the original home for the institution, while the Mathematical School was an integral part of its academic program, focusing on the teaching of mathematics and other sciences. The print depicts the ruins of these historic buildings, which were likely destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666 or during later rebuilding efforts. Sir Christopher Wren, a renowned English architect, played a significant role in the reconstruction of many London buildings after the fire, but the Old Priory and Mathematical School were not among them. Ireland's watercolor with pen and blue ink and touches of pen and black ink on cream wove paper captures the essence of the Old Priory and Mathematical School's grandeur, despite their ruined state. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, while the intricate details of the buildings' architecture are brought to life through the artist's skilled penmanship. This print is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of London's architectural heritage and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations. The image is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on British history, architecture, or the works of Samuel Ireland.
