EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the historic Booksellers Retreat, also known as The Booksellers Provident Retreat, located in Abbots Langley, Herts. Built in 1844 thanks to the benevolence of paper magnate John Dickinson, this house has served as a haven for those in need within the bookselling community for over a century and a half.
The picturesque retreat stands as a testament to Dickinson's generosity and commitment to supporting others in his industry. With its beautiful architecture and serene surroundings, it provided a peaceful sanctuary for book sellers to rest and recharge.
Today, the house continues to fulfill its original purpose, offering housing and support to those who require assistance. It remains an important part of England's history, preserving the legacy of both John Dickinson and the bookselling community he sought to help.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of compassion and charity in shaping our society. The Booksellers Retreat stands as a symbol of hope and solidarity for all who seek refuge within its walls.
