EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bartletts Buildings, Holborn, 1838" by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd takes us back in time to a bustling street scene in London. The image showcases an alley of dark brick houses, believed to have been built during the seventeenth century. Interestingly, this location holds significance in literature as it is where the Miss Steeles stayed upon their arrival in London in Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility. The photograph captures the essence of daily life with pedestrians strolling along the narrow streets. Men, women, and even children can be seen going about their business while a dog adds a touch of liveliness to the scene. Chimneys release plumes of smoke into the air, hinting at the activity happening inside these historic buildings. Unfortunately, Bartletts Buildings met its tragic fate when it was destroyed during World War II bombings in 1941. However, through this remarkable print preserved in private collection today, we are able to appreciate its architectural beauty and imagine what life might have been like for those who once called this place home. This artwork serves as a testament to both historical preservation and literary inspiration – transporting viewers back to a bygone era filled with charm and character that will forever remain etched within our collective memory.
