EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from 1748 showcases the impressive View of New Sessions House Old Bailey, a historic landmark in London. The artist, belonging to the English School of the 18th century, skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of this iconic building. The New Sessions House was constructed in 1673 near Newgate Street, adjacent to the prison. Originally designed with an open court room to prevent the spread of gaol fever (typhus), it underwent renovations in 1737 when it was enclosed and refronted. The result is a stunning facade that exudes elegance and sophistication. The image portrays the entrance to this central criminal court, known as Old Bailey. Its Italianate style combined with Georgian influences creates a harmonious blend of neo-classical architecture. This courthouse has witnessed countless trials throughout history and stands as a symbol of justice within British legal system. As you gaze at this print, you can almost imagine yourself stepping into its hallowed halls where important legal proceedings took place. It serves as a reminder of London's rich history and its commitment to upholding law and order. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind capturing such intricate details but also offers us a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved through fine art.
