EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Heralds College around the year 1700, as depicted in a publication from 1897. The College of Arms building, situated in the heart of London, was constructed during the 1670s and stands as an architectural marvel. Its neo-classical design exudes elegance and grandeur, reflecting the artistic sensibilities prevalent during that era. The image captures a serene courtyard surrounded by majestic buildings, evoking a sense of history and tradition. As one gazes upon this scene, it is impossible not to be transported back in time to an age when heraldry played a significant role in British society. The photograph's monochrome palette adds depth and character to the composition while emphasizing its timeless quality. It serves as a testament to both the skill of its unknown creator and George Walter Thornbury's meticulous documentation of Old and New London. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance placed on education and profession during this period. The College of Arms served as an educational institution for those pursuing careers related to heraldry—a field deeply intertwined with Britain's rich cultural heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece from our past, let us appreciate how it allows us to glimpse into another world—one where artistry met architecture amidst bustling city streets—leaving behind an indelible mark on England's landscape for generations to come.
