EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The image showcases a remarkable view of the London Hospital in Whitechapel Road, captured in 1753. As we gaze upon this historic scene, remnants of civil war fortifications can be seen on the right side, serving as a reminder of turbulent times gone by. The street is teeming with activity as herds of cattle make their way along the road, accompanied by horse-drawn carts and carriages. This snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life during that era, where transportation relied heavily on horses for both goods and passenger transport. The architectural beauty of the hospital building stands tall amidst its surroundings. Its grandeur reflects the importance placed on healthcare even in those early days. Located in Stepney within Tower Hamlets, this institution played a crucial role in providing medical care to Londoners. Preserved through an engraving by William Bellers and William Henry Toms, this monochrome masterpiece captures not only physical structures but also transports us back to an era brimming with history and significance. Thanks to Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's efforts to preserve such treasures like these prints from Jean Baptiste Claude Chatelain's collection, we are able to appreciate glimpses into our past that would otherwise be lost.
