EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling streets of Holborn, London in 1850. Titled "View of Staple Inn and the buildings of Middle Row in the centre of Holborn" it offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty and vibrant atmosphere of this historic district. The image showcases a row of charming buildings that line Middle Row, with Staple Inn taking center stage. The intricate details and unique design elements of these structures reflect the rich history and craftsmanship prevalent during the 19th century in Britain. The colorized version adds an extra layer of depth to this snapshot from the past, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic appeal. The warm hues bring life to every corner, making it easier for viewers to imagine themselves walking through those very streets over a century ago. Valentine Davis skillfully captured this scene using watercolors, showcasing his talent as an artist who sought to preserve moments like these for future generations. Now housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece serves as a testament to England's enduring heritage. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time - standing outside Staple Inn on a busy day in 1850s London. It is a reminder that even amidst modernization and change, traces of our country's past can still be found if we take the time to look closely enough.
