EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Macklins House, located on Tavistock Row in Covent Garden, London. The house belonged to renowned actor and dramatist Charles Macklin, who was born in Ireland and performed at the prestigious Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. The image dates back to 1881 and is part of a publication called "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" by Edward Walford. Macklin's House holds an intriguing story within its walls. It was here that Charles Macklin accidentally killed a man during a supposed fight over a wig. However, he was ultimately acquitted of any wrongdoing. This incident adds an air of mystery to this Georgian-style terraced house. The photograph showcases the architectural beauty of the building with its elegant exterior design typical of 19th-century Britain. Tavistock Row itself provides a charming backdrop for this historical gem nestled amidst bustling city life. Preserved through time in monochrome tones, this image transports us back to an era when Covent Garden was teeming with actors, playwrights, and artists alike. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that still permeates these streets today. As we gaze upon this scene captured by an unknown creator from over a century ago, we are reminded that every corner of our cities holds stories waiting to be discovered – tales that shape our understanding of both past and present.
