EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting rear view of Carlyle's House from the Garden, located at 24 Cheyne Row in the heart of Chelsea, London. Once known as 5 Great Cheyne Row, this historic residence was the home of Thomas and Jane Carlyle from 1834 until Thomas's death in 1881. The image invites us to step back in time and imagine the tranquil moments spent by the renowned literary couple in their beloved garden. The lush greenery, with its towering trees and vibrant foliage, frames the picturesque silhouette of the house, which remains largely unchanged since the Carlyles' residence. Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), a Scottish historian, essayist, and satirist, and his wife Jane (1803-1866), a gifted writer and translator, were influential figures in 19th-century British literature. Their home in Chelsea became a gathering place for intellectuals and artists, including Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The photograph, taken circa 1903, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and serenity of the Carlyles' garden and the enduring legacy of this remarkable literary couple.
