EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Clerkenwell Green in 1789. The image showcases the impressive Middlesex Sessions House, a neo-classical architectural gem built in 1782. Standing proudly amidst the bustling city of London, this historic building exudes grandeur and elegance. The photograph is part of the renowned publication "Old and New London" by Walter Thornbury, offering a narrative that delves into the rich history, people, and places of this vibrant city. Through this snapshot, we catch a glimpse of life in 18th-century England - a country on the cusp of great change. Clerkenwell Green itself serves as an atmospheric backdrop for this architectural marvel. The square's charm lies not only in its picturesque surroundings but also in its significance as a hub for various professions and occupations during that era. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece captured by an unknown creator from over a century ago, it becomes clear that art has the power to transcend time. This print allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind such magnificent architecture and our ability to connect with history through visual mediums. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now relish glimpses into our past while standing firmly rooted in our present-day appreciation for artistry and heritage.
