EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique print depicts The Conduit near Bayswater, Paddington, a historical landmark that dates back to the 17th century. The Conduit was built to preserve a large spring of pure water, making it an essential source for the local community. The image, created as a copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith, is based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries. The print showcases a serene scene of the Conduit, surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil pond. At the center, an honest man, identified as William Emerson, is shown pouring water from a jug into a basin, emphasizing the importance of the Conduit for the daily lives of the people. The inscription on the monument reads, "William Emerson, who died Anno Domini 1575," adding a touch of history to the image. The Conduit is located near the Saviours Hospital in Southwark, St. Mary Overie, and is a significant architectural relic from the past. The print, published by J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco in London in 1798, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this fascinating structure. The intricate details and the authenticity of the engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or architectural records.
