EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing Cromwell House as depicted on Aggass Map. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their attention to detail is evident. Cromwell House, located at Austin Friars in the City of London, was once the residence of Thomas Cromwell, a prominent figure who served as chief minister to King Henry VIII. This historical building later became Drapers Hall. The photograph captures the essence of this iconic structure with its grandeur and architectural beauty. It transports us to a bygone era when England was undergoing significant political and social changes. The monochrome effect adds an air of nostalgia and highlights the intricate details of Cromwell House's exterior. From its elegant avenue leading up to the entrance to its imposing presence on Austin Friars Lane, every aspect exudes a sense of history. This image comes from Walter Thornbury's publication "Old and New London" which provides invaluable insights into Britain's past. Published by Cassell & Company Ltd. , London, Paris & Melbourne in 1897, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with heritage and preservation. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Thomas Cromwell's legacy but also how architecture can serve as a tangible link between different periods in history.
