Mrs. Thrales House, Streatham, (c1878). Creator: Unknown
Mrs. Thrales House, Streatham, (c1878). The Georgian country mansion at Streatham Park in the village of Streatham was built by the brewer Ralph Thrale. It later passed to his son Henry Thrale, who with his wife Hester entertained many of the leading literary and artistic characters of the day, notably the lexicographer Samuel Johnson who had his own room above the library. Hesters diaries and correspondence are an important source of information about Johnson and 18th-century English life. The house has since been demolished, and the area is now part of greater London. From Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places. The Southern Suburbs, Volume VI, by Edward Walford. [Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. London, Paris & New York, c1878]

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Mrs. Thrale's House in Streatham, a Georgian country mansion built by brewer Ralph Thrale in the late 18th century. Passed down to his son Henry Thrale and his wife Hester, this magnificent residence became a hub for literary and artistic luminaries of the time. One notable guest was Samuel Johnson, the renowned lexicographer, who even had his own room above the library. Hester's diaries and correspondence offer invaluable insights into both Johnson's life and English society during the 18th century. Sadly, Mrs. Thrale's House no longer stands today as it has been demolished, giving way to modern development within greater London. The image itself captures not only the architectural beauty of this stately home but also hints at its lush surroundings with glimpses of an enchanting garden landscape. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. Preserved within Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places - Volume VI by Edward Walford - this photograph serves as a visual testament to an era long gone but still remembered through historical accounts like these.
