EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ellis Davys Almshouses, located in Croydon, Surrey during the 19th century. Painted by renowned artist John Hassell, this watercolour artwork showcases the architectural beauty and historical significance of these almshouses. Built in the 18th century, Ellis Davys Almshouses were a symbol of charity and support for those in need. The vibrant colors used in this painting bring life to the exterior of these buildings, highlighting their importance within British society at that time. The image transports us back to a different era when poverty was prevalent and housing options for the poor were limited. The concept behind almshouses was to provide shelter and assistance to those less fortunate, offering them a chance at a better life. Located in what is now known as London borough of Croydon, these almshouses hold great cultural value for England. This photograph serves as a reminder of our country's history and how it has evolved over centuries. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this piece allows viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical context. It invites us to reflect on societal changes while acknowledging the enduring spirit of compassion towards others.
