EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the remains of Nell Gwynn's residence at Bagnigge Wells, Pentonville, London. The image transports us to March 1844, offering a glimpse into the historic house where Nell Gwynn, mistress of King Charles II, once resided. The scene depicts a hauntingly beautiful architecture now reduced to ruins. As we study the intricate details captured by the English School in the 19th century, we can't help but marvel at how time has weathered this once grand abode. Moss-covered stones and crumbling walls stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. Bagnigge Wells was undoubtedly witness to countless stories of love and intrigue during its heyday. It is here that Nell Gwynn's presence would have graced these halls with her charm and wit. This print allows us an intimate connection with history as we imagine the lively conversations and secret rendezvous that took place within these very walls. The significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of architectural decay but also in its reminder that even great houses are subject to the passage of time. Through this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are invited to reflect on our own mortality and appreciate the ephemeral nature of human existence. As we gaze upon this evocative print, let us remember Nell Gwynn's legacy as one who captivated both king and commoner alike with her
