EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in 1856, we are granted a glimpse into the home of Charles Roach Smith (1807-1890), an esteemed antiquarian and amateur archaeologist, located in Liverpool Street, City of London. The image reveals the heart of Smith's Museum of London Antiquities, which he had meticulously curated over the years. The collection, comprised primarily of antiquities discovered during London excavations or dredging of the Thames, was later purchased by the British Museum. The room is filled with an air of historical intrigue, as the walls are adorned with an eclectic assortment of artifacts, each with a story to tell. The shelves are laden with an array of objects, including amphorae, pottery, and various other ancient relics. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a time long past, with the warm, natural light filtering through the windows casting gentle shadows on the treasured items. Smith's passion for collecting began in the mid-19th century, during a time when the Victorian fascination with history and archaeology was at its peak. His dedication to preserving London's rich past led him to amass an impressive collection that would eventually become a vital addition to the British Museum's holdings. This photograph serves as a testament to Smith's unwavering commitment to documenting and sharing the history of his beloved city. The Museum of London Antiquities, as it came to be known, was a labor of love for Charles Roach Smith. The photograph captures not only the beauty and significance of the artifacts themselves but also the essence of a man who devoted his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the preservation of history. This image offers a unique window into the past, inviting us to explore the depths of London's history and the passion of one man's quest to uncover its secrets.
