EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Whittingtons Almshouses, nestled on Highgate Hill in London during the 19th century. The artist, J Davies, beautifully portrays this significant architectural landmark that is said to have been founded by Dick Whittington, the renowned medieval Lord Mayor of London. Administered by the Mercers Company, these almshouses symbolize a concept of charity and support for those living in poverty. The image showcases a serene setting with lush plants and trees adorning the road leading up to the almshouses. A horse-drawn carriage can be seen traversing along this picturesque street, representing transportation during that era. The monochrome effect adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from history. Whittingtons Almshouses stand as a testament to England's rich heritage and its commitment to providing housing for those in need. Located in Highgate within Camden borough, these almshouses were an important part of trade guilds' contributions towards social welfare. Captured by J Davies under the guidance of Thomas Hosmer Shepherd and inspired by Dick Whittington's legacy, this print offers viewers a glimpse into London's past. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can reflect societal values while highlighting nature's beauty amidst urban landscapes.
