EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent south front of York Watergate, located in Buckingham Street, Westminster, London. Built in 1626, this historic watergate served as an access point to the Thames from York House, a grand mansion situated on the Strand. However, with the construction of the Thames Embankment in the 1860s, it found itself distanced by 150 yards from the river and now resides peacefully within Embankment Gardens. The image captures both the charm of its original seventeenth-century architecture and its nineteenth-century surroundings. The vibrant colors bring to life this slice of British history nestled amidst a bustling cityscape. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can almost imagine strolling down this avenue lined with beautiful buildings that exude elegance and character. John Crowther's skillful use of watercolor perfectly captures not only architectural details but also elements of nature present in this scene. The trees and plants add a touch of serenity to an otherwise busy street. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for all to admire, Stewart's artwork transports us back through time into England's rich heritage. It is a testament to our country's ability to preserve historical landmarks while embracing progress.
