EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the South-east view of an old 15th-century Tudor house in Sweedon's Passage, Grub Street, dating back to 1791. Once the home of esteemed figures such as Sir Richard Whittington and Sir Thomas Gresham, this historic building exudes a sense of grandeur and prestige.
In the foreground, we see ballad singer Joseph Clinch holding a woodcut of Whittington's famous cat, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The intricate details captured in this copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith from his Topography of London in 1811 transport us back in time to a bygone era filled with charm and character.
The presence of young boys playing with hoops and a loyal dog further adds life to the image, painting a vivid picture of daily life in Tudor England. The dilapidated state of the house hints at its rich history and storied past, making it all the more intriguing for viewers.
As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by those who once walked these hallowed halls. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to the past and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to cherish.
