EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Somerset House, taken around 1902 by the talented artist Tony Grubhofer, showcases the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic London landmark. Originally built for Lord Protector Somerset in the mid-16th century, Somerset House was England's first Renaissance palace and played a pivotal role in shaping architectural trends during that era. Over time, it underwent substantial renovations under the guidance of Sir William Chambers in the late 18th century. The Thames River used to flow right up to its majestic frontage, adding an enchanting touch to its already impressive facade. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, Somerset House served as home to numerous royal societies and cultural institutions. From 1836 until 1973, it housed the offices of the General Register of Births, Deaths, and Marriages—a testament to its multifaceted history. This photograph captures not only a stunning architectural masterpiece but also offers a glimpse into London's vibrant arts scene at that time. The neoclassical design elements are evident in every detail— from its grand entrance on The Strand to its elegant columns and intricate carvings. This Grade I listed building stands as a symbol of timeless beauty amidst modernity. Tony Grubhofer's expertly composed image allows us to appreciate both the exterior splendor and historical significance of Somerset House—an enduring monument that continues to captivate visitors with its rich heritage.
