EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Somerset House, a historic landmark situated on the banks of the River Thames in London. Designed by renowned architect Sir William Chambers in the late 18th century, this magnificent building originally served as public offices for important institutions such as the Navy Board and learned societies. Over time, Somerset House underwent a transformation and became home to three prestigious art collections: the Gilbert Collection, Hermitage Rooms, and Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery. This fusion of history and artistic excellence is beautifully depicted in this monochrome image. The photograph showcases Somerset House's stunning architecture against the backdrop of the flowing river. Boats gently glide along its waters, adding a sense of movement to an otherwise serene scene. The juxtaposition between water transport and this architectural masterpiece highlights both London's rich maritime heritage and its cultural significance. As we gaze upon this print by H le Keux, E Mackenzie, and William Chambers, we are transported back to 19th-century England. It serves as a reminder not only of our country's past but also celebrates its enduring beauty. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the historical importance of Somerset House and its current role as an esteemed art gallery within Britain's capital city.
