EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning etching by Nicolas Jean Baptiste Poilly captures the picturesque view of Somerset House and St. Mary-le-Strand Church in London during the 18th century. Poilly, a French artist, expertly depicts the grandeur of the British capital city with intricate detail and vibrant color. At the heart of the scene is Somerset House, a neoclassical palace located on the Strand. Its impressive facade, adorned with columns and intricate carvings, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Thames River. Horses and carriages line the streets, transporting people to and fro, while pedestrians can be seen milling about, adding a sense of lively activity to the scene. In the foreground, St. Mary-le-Strand Church can be seen, its tall spire reaching towards the heavens. The church, which dates back to the 17th century, is a Grade I listed building and a significant part of London's rich heritage. The daily life of the city is on full display, with men and women going about their business, and a horse-drawn carriage making its way down the cobblestone streets. The influence of the Low Countries is evident in the design of Denmark House, located to the left of Somerset House. The Dutch-inspired architecture, with its gabled roofs and ornate details, adds to the diverse and eclectic mix of styles that define London during this period. This etching is a testament to Poilly's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the streets of London during the Georgian period and inviting us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating city.
