EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Somerset House, Strand, as depicted in Ackermanns Microcosm of London. Engraved by John Bluck in 1809, this aquatint beautifully captures the essence of this iconic Georgian architecture. The collaboration between Rowlandson and Pugin brings to life every intricate detail of the Tudor palace built for Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset. The image transports us back to a time when Somerset House stood proudly on the Strand, serving as a public building housing various government offices. Its completion in 1801 by Sir William Chambers marked a significant architectural achievement that still resonates today. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are drawn into its majestic facade and exquisite exterior. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history contained within its walls – from the Hermitage rooms to the courtyard adorned with timeless elegance. Somerset House stands not only as an architectural masterpiece but also as a testament to England's cultural heritage. This print serves as a reminder of our past and invites us to appreciate the enduring beauty found within these historic walls.
