EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image showcases an "Old House in New Street Square" a historical gem that was bequeathed by Agar Harding to the esteemed Goldsmiths Company. Unfortunately, this architectural marvel met its demise in 1852 when it was pulled down, forever lost to history. The scene depicted is one of daily life, with male and female pedestrians strolling along the street accompanied by a child. The facade of the old house stands tall and proud amidst a backdrop of other city buildings, exuding an air of grandeur and elegance that was characteristic of Victorian architecture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world where residential buildings were not just structures but reflections of societal values and aspirations. This particular residence would have been witness to countless stories unfolding within its walls over the years. It is fascinating how art has preserved this moment from centuries ago for us to appreciate today. This print serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and invites us to reflect on the passage of time. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they offer insights into the lives lived before ours – their dreams, struggles, and triumphs etched onto every brick and stone.
