EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1935, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the Royal Naval College at Greenwich. Once serving as a hospital for disabled sailors, this magnificent architectural marvel stands proudly on the banks of the River Thames in south London. Designed by none other than Sir Christopher Wren, renowned British architect of the 17th century, these former Greenwich Hospital buildings were repurposed to establish the college in 1873. The image showcases an expansive cityscape view from "Wonderful London, Volume 2", edited by Arthur St John Adcock. The lush greenery of Greenwich Park surrounds this grand structure, creating a serene and picturesque setting for learning and education. As we admire this monochrome scene captured by an unknown creator, we are transported to a time when Britain's naval heritage thrived. It is fascinating to witness how architecture seamlessly blends with nature in this outdoor landscape. The grassy expanse invites visitors to explore its grounds while appreciating both historical significance and natural beauty. This print serves as a testament to not only Sir Christopher Wren's genius but also pays homage to those brave sailors who once sought solace within these walls. With every detail meticulously preserved through time, this photograph allows us to appreciate the timeless elegance that defines both British history and architectural excellence.
