EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print captures the humble abode of John Keats, located at 17 Church Street in Edmonton, London. Known as the 'John Keats Cottage,' this historic site holds significant literary and historical importance. Keats, the renowned Romantic poet, served his apprenticeship to the surgeon, Thomas Hammond, at this very address from 1811 to 1815. The cottage, nestled in a quiet corner of the bustling town, stands as a testament to the formative years of one of England's greatest poets. Keats' time in Edmonton, spent in the shadow of the medical profession, greatly influenced his later works. It was during this period that he began to develop his love for poetry, penning some of his earliest verses. The cottage, built in 1795, has stood the test of time, its weathered facade bearing the marks of history. The poet's connection to this unassuming dwelling is commemorated by a blue plaque, which reads, "John Keats, poet, lived and worked here 1811-1815." The years Keats spent in Edmonton, far from the glamour and fame of London's literary circles, have become an integral part of his biography. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the young poet poring over his verses in the dimly lit rooms of this humble cottage. The John Keats Cottage, now a protected historical site, stands as a reminder of the rich literary history of Edmonton and the formative influence of the poet's apprenticeship on his later works. This photograph print is a must-have for any Keats scholar, literary enthusiast, or history buff, offering a unique window into the life of one of England's most celebrated poets.
