EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from The Sketch, dated November 20, 1903, offers a rare glimpse into the private world of renowned British artist John Hassall as he works in his studio at 88 Kensington Park Road. The image, taken during the exhibition of his large watercolour masterpiece, "Agincourt," at the Royal Institute (R.I.), reveals Hassall in the midst of his creative process. With a broom in hand, he sweeps up the floor, perhaps making way for new inspiration, while simultaneously focusing on the intricate details of his artwork. The photograph also unveils Hassall's cleverly concealed secret exit, a trompe-l'oeil bookcase. This ingenious design not only adds an element of surprise but also serves as a testament to Hassall's artistic ingenuity.
