EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1825, capturing the Drapers Almshouses in New Kent Road, Southwark, London. The artist behind this masterpiece is G Yates, who skillfully portrays a scene that reflects both the architectural beauty and philanthropic spirit of its time. The almshouses stand proudly along an avenue, showcasing their grandeur against the backdrop of 19th-century Britain. These buildings served as a sanctuary for those in need, providing shelter and support to the less fortunate members of society. The vibrant colors used by Yates bring life to this watercolor image, highlighting every intricate detail from chimney tops to street lanes. Located near Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, these almshouses were established by the Drapers Company - a respected livery company known for their charitable endeavors. This photograph captures not only a physical structure but also represents an era when charity played a crucial role in addressing poverty. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of our country's history and how communities came together to help those struggling with poverty. It evokes feelings of gratitude towards organizations like the Drapers Company who dedicated themselves to making positive changes within society.
