EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1879 showcases the picturesque view of Butlers Almshouses in Caxton Street, Westminster, London. The image takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the concept of charity and housing for the poor during that era. The almshouses stand proudly along an avenue lined with lampposts, illuminating the path for those seeking refuge within their walls. The architectural beauty of these British buildings is evident in their intricate design and charming exterior. John Crowther's watercolour technique brings out every detail with vibrant colors, adding life to this historical snapshot. In the background, we catch a glimpse of a church spire rising above nearby houses, emphasizing the strong presence of Christianity in this part of London. Surrounded by nature's offerings such as trees and plants, Butlers Almshouses provide not only shelter but also solace amidst bustling city life. This image serves as a reminder of how religion played a significant role in providing assistance to those less fortunate. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It transports us back to a time when compassion was extended through tangible means like these almshouses on Caxton Street—a testament to Britain's commitment towards caring for its impoverished citizens.
