EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Shaftesbury House, a historic landmark in Aldersgate Street, City of London. Built in 1644 by the renowned architect Inigo Jones, this architectural masterpiece was also known as Thanet House throughout its existence. The photograph captures the essence of this magnificent building that served various purposes over the years. Once a tavern frequented by locals and travelers alike, Shaftesbury House later transformed into a lying-in hospital and dispensary. Its rich history is evident through its changing roles within society. Unfortunately, this iconic structure met its demise in 1882 when it was demolished. The image transports us back to both the 17th and 19th centuries, offering glimpses into life during those times. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to the scene while emphasizing the intricate details of the architecture. Taken from Walter Thornbury's publication "Old and New London" this print serves as a testament to his dedication in preserving historical narratives for future generations. Through his words and George Walter's lens, we are able to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also understand how Shaftesbury House played an integral role within English society. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of our connection with history and how these structures shape our present-day landscapes.
