EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of buildings in Park Street, Southwark, London, dating back to the year 1808. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than George Smith. As we delve into the details of this image, it becomes apparent that these buildings could potentially be Thomas Cures Almshouses - a place dedicated to providing shelter and support for the less fortunate. Transporting us back to the 19th century, this photograph showcases an avenue lined with British architecture. The color and vibrancy of the scene bring life to what was once a cemetery filled with graves and gravestones. It serves as a poignant reminder of England's history and its commitment to charity amidst poverty-stricken times. The exterior of these almshouses exudes both elegance and simplicity, while railings along the road add a touch of sophistication. Located in Southwark, London, this picturesque lane offers a glimpse into country life during that era. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this watercolor print allows us to appreciate George Smith's artistic talent in capturing such intricate details from everyday life centuries ago. Let your imagination wander as you explore this historical gem that encapsulates not only architectural beauty but also societal values tied closely with concepts like alms-giving and community support.
