EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic York Watergate in Westminster, London. The image, captured by artist Alexander Hogg in 1911, takes us back to the year 1784 when this magnificent structure marked the northern bank of the River Thames. Built by Nicholas Stone in 1626, it stood proudly until the construction of the Victoria Embankment in 1862 altered its surroundings. The photograph beautifully captures both architectural grandeur and natural beauty. The elegant gate stands tall amidst a backdrop of lush trees and plants, creating a serene atmosphere along the riverbank. A few boats can be seen floating on the tranquil waters of the Thames, symbolizing transportation as an integral part of city life during that era. This monochrome snapshot not only transports us to eighteenth-century Britain but also highlights how geographical features shape our urban landscapes over time. The York Watergate served as an entrance into Westminster and played a significant role in connecting people with their surroundings. As we admire this remarkable piece of history through Alexander Hogg's lens, we are reminded of Sir Walter Besant's words from his book "London - North of the Thames": "Every building has some story attached to it". Indeed, this print collector29 artwork tells a tale that intertwines architecture, transportation, nature, and British heritage into one captivating visual narrative.
