EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Clerkenwell Close, London, 1883" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The talented artist behind this masterpiece is none other than John Crowther. With a keen eye for detail and a remarkable ability to capture the essence of his subjects, Crowther transports us to an era long gone. In this particular scene, we are treated to a view of Clerkenwell Close with the iconic House of Detention looming in the distance. As our gaze wanders through the image, we notice an array of colorful buildings lining both sides of the street. Each structure tells its own story and adds character to this vibrant neighborhood. The presence of greengrocers and various shops along the road gives us a glimpse into daily life during that time period. People can be seen going about their business outside these establishments, creating a lively atmosphere filled with activity and commerce. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that law and crime were integral parts of society at that time. The House of Detention stands as a reminder of those who found themselves on the wrong side of justice. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate John Crowther's watercolor depiction as if we were standing right there on that very street corner in Clerkenwell Close over a century ago.
