EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print takes us back to the year 1749, offering a glimpse into the bustling scene of Greenwich Hospital and its surrounding shipping activity. Created by Herbert Railton in the late 19th century, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of an era long gone. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly Greenwich Hospital, standing tall and majestic against a backdrop of serene blue skies. Its grand architecture exudes a sense of strength and importance, symbolizing both power and protection. The hospital's significance as a naval institution during that time cannot be overstated. In perfect harmony with its surroundings, ships dot the River Thames below, their sails billowing in anticipation of new voyages or returning from distant lands. This maritime setting showcases London's historical connection to trade and exploration. This lithograph was originally created for "The Life of Samuel Johnson" by James Boswell, published around 1900. It serves as an evocative visual representation of Dr. Samuel Johnson's life during his time at Greenwich Hospital. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era where history unfolds before our eyes – where great men like Dr. Johnson walked these very streets and witnessed firsthand the comings and goings that shaped their world. Through this print, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past whispering tales untold but forever imprinted on these hallowed grounds.
