1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Baillie Scott's Timber-Framed Cottages in Wimbledon, Early 1900s" This architectural sketch, taken from the extensive collection of the March of the Women at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the exterior of a group of timber-framed cottages designed by the renowned British architect, Baillie Scott, in the early 1900s. Located in the affluent London suburb of Wimbledon, these cottages represent a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and innovative design, embodying the Arts and Crafts movement's ethos of beauty, functionality, and harmony with nature. Baillie Scott, a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, was known for his dedication to reviving traditional building techniques and materials. In this sketch, we can observe the intricate timber framing, with its exposed joints and carefully crafted details, which not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the structural integrity of the buildings. The use of natural materials, such as timber and thatch, further emphasizes the connection between the cottages and their surrounding environment. The cottages' design is characterized by their picturesque, irregular layout, which reflects the architect's belief in creating buildings that harmonize with their natural setting. The roofs, adorned with chimneys and dormer windows, add to the cottages' charming appearance and provide ample natural light, enhancing the interiors' warmth and coziness. This architectural sketch serves as a testament to Baillie Scott's vision and the Arts and Crafts movement's enduring influence on British architecture. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era and inspires us to value the importance of preserving our architectural heritage.
