EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past as it depicts the newly built Adelphi in London, England, in the year 1771. The Adelphi, located on the banks of the Thames by the Strand, was the brainchild of the renowned Scottish architectural brothers, Robert and James Adam. Prior to the construction of the Adelphi, the site was occupied by Durham Yard. However, the brothers saw the potential in this prime location and set out to create a masterpiece that would stand the test of time. The Adelphi was designed in the neoclassical style, which was popular during the late 18th century, and was known for its grandeur and elegance. The print showcases the Adelphi in all its glory, with its symmetrical façade reflecting in the calm waters of the Thames. The intricate details of the architecture are evident, from the Doric columns to the ornate balustrades and pediments. The brothers' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the design, making the Adelphi a true architectural marvel of the time. The Adelphi was more than just a building; it was a symbol of the brothers' artistic vision and their commitment to creating beautiful and functional spaces. The print serves as a reminder of the rich history of London and the important role that the Adam brothers played in shaping the city's architectural landscape. This print is an invaluable resource for historians, architects, and anyone with an interest in the history of London and its architectural heritage. It offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
