EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and elegance of Kensington Town Hall as it appeared in 1880, shortly after its completion. Located in the heart of London's Kensington district, the Town Hall was a symbol of the area's prosperity and civic pride. Designed by the renowned architect, A.W. Blomfield, the building was constructed in the Italian Renaissance style, featuring intricate stonework, tall columns, and ornate details. The exterior of the Town Hall is depicted here, with its impressive facade adorned with large windows, a clock tower, and a grand entranceway. The engraving also reveals the lush greenery surrounding the building, including trees and shrubs, which added to the picturesque scene. The date of August 14, 1880, is inscribed in the lower left corner, making this a valuable historical record of the Town Hall's early days. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a sense of the architectural beauty and grandeur that defined Kensington in the late 19th century.
