EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "North Court, 21st February, 1862" takes us back in time to witness the construction of what is now known as the Victoria and Albert Museum. The image showcases a group of dedicated builders diligently working on laying the floorboards in this magnificent exhibition hall. The workers can be seen carefully placing each board, creating a sturdy foundation for future visitors to admire priceless works of art. The vast space is illuminated by a stunning glass roof that allows natural light to flood into the building, highlighting the intricate iron-framed structure. The photograph captures not only the physical labor involved in constructing such an architectural marvel but also reveals glimpses of Victorian-era craftsmanship. Through their skilled hands and unwavering determination, these builders contribute to shaping history within these walls. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense effort required to bring forth grand visions like this museum. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication towards creating spaces that inspire generations to come. Preserved within The Stapleton Collection and captured by an English photographer from the 19th century, this print offers us a glimpse into both past construction techniques and historical significance. A true treasure from our artistic heritage!
