1. Title: A Victorian Glimpse of Doughty Street: Terraced Houses as Depicted in a Circa 1900 Lantern Slide This lantern slide image offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, presenting a view of Doughty Street in London during the Victorian era. The photograph, part of the Boswell Collection housed in Box 318 at Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a collection of well-preserved terraced houses that line the street. Doughty Street, located in the Bloomsbury area of London, has a rich literary history, having once been the residence of Charles Dickens from 1837 to 1839. Dickens wrote some of his most famous works, including "Oliver Twist" and "Nicholas Nickleby," during his time at this address. The image captures the essence of the Victorian era with its meticulously maintained terraced houses, each adorned with distinctive architectural features such as ornate brickwork, decorative chimneys, and small front gardens. The houses appear to be bathed in a soft, warm light, creating an inviting and idyllic scene. The use of a lantern slide further adds to the historical significance of the image. Lantern slides were a popular means of projecting visual content for educational and entertainment purposes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular slide likely would have been used to illustrate lectures or presentations on Victorian architecture or London history. In summary, this lantern slide image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of Doughty Street's terraced houses as they appeared during the Victorian era. The image's historical context, coupled with its intriguing provenance as a lantern slide from the Boswell Collection, makes it a valuable and intriguing addition to any historical or architectural archive.
