EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1882, offering a glimpse into the past of Cecil Street in Westminster, London. The talented artist behind this piece is none other than John Crowther, who beautifully captures the essence of this historical location. Sir William Congreve's House stands proudly at the south end of Cecil Street, Strand, showcasing its grandeur and elegance. However, as time passed by and progress took its course, Cecil Street was unfortunately removed to make way for the construction of the renowned Cecil Hotel. This iconic hotel later transformed into Shell-Mex House, leaving only memories behind. Lost London described by E. Beresford Chancellor serves as our guide through these forgotten streets and buildings that once shaped England's capital city. The watercolor technique used in this print adds a touch of vibrancy and life to an era long gone. As we observe this image closely, we are transported back to a different century - the 19th century - where horse-drawn carriages roamed freely along cobbled lanes. It is fascinating how one photograph can encapsulate so much history within its frame. Thanks to The Print Collector29 (not associated with any company), we have been granted access to this remarkable piece from Heritage Images collection. Let us cherish these glimpses into our heritage and appreciate how far we have come since then.
