EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of 18th century London. Titled "South East view of the old house lately standing in Sweedons Passage, Grub Street" this engraving by John Thomas Smith offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels of its era. The image showcases a magnificent example of domestic architecture, featuring an external specimen of the heavy timber style. This particular house, which once stood proudly on Grub Street (now known as Fleet Street), was sadly demolished in March 1805. However, through this engraving drawn in 1791, we are able to appreciate its grandeur and historical significance. Notably, this house holds a special place in folklore as it is believed to have been the home of Dick Whittington - a prominent figure from English literature and history. The intricate details captured within the facade reveal elements of Tudor influence blended with Georgian street life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, our imagination runs wild with stories that unfolded within these walls centuries ago. It serves as a testament to London's rich heritage and reminds us of how much has changed over time while also preserving fragments from our past.
