EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Shaftesbury House, located on Aldersgate Street in London, around 1880. Originally known as Thanet House and built by the renowned architect Inigo Jones in 1644, this aristocratic townhouse stood as a testament to baroque and neoclassical architecture. The image showcases the imposing facade of Shaftesbury House, adorned with intricate details such as pilasters and a broken pediment. The giant order columns add to its majestic presence, while the dilapidated state hints at its once glorious past. Taken by Henry Dixon as part of a series documenting endangered buildings in old London between 1875-87, this photograph serves as a relic of Victorian photography. It offers us a glimpse into an era when urban landscapes were undergoing significant changes due to modernization. Despite its rundown appearance, Shaftesbury House still exudes an air of elegance and history. Its neo-classical design stands out amidst the surrounding street scene, reminding viewers of its significance during the seventeenth century. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical value that these relics hold. It invites us to reflect on how our cities have evolved over time while preserving fragments of their rich heritage for future generations to admire.
