The Gatehouse Rochester, 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early fifteenth century in Kent, England. The image showcases Jaspers Gatehouse, an enchanting building dating back centuries, which served as the bachelor flat of Cathedral organist John Jasper in Charles Dickens's final novel, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". Captured by renowned artist Sir Leslie Matthew Ward in 1925, this monochromatic snapshot beautifully depicts a scene from literature come to life. A lady strolls along the road adjacent to the gatehouse, her presence adding a touch of elegance and femininity to the composition. As she walks past scaffolding and through a rambling lane lined with other historic buildings, one can almost imagine themselves transported into Dickens's world. Ward's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print – from the intricate architectural features of Jaspers Gatehouse to the texture and atmosphere created by his use of photography. This publication from The Studio Volume 89 serves as a testament not only to Ward's artistic prowess but also his ability to bring historical settings alive through his work. "The Gatehouse Rochester, 1925" is more than just an image; it encapsulates history and literature within its frame. It invites viewers on a journey through time while paying homage to both Charles Dickens's legacy and Sir Leslie Matthew Ward's artistic genius.
