EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a view towards the Greenwich Hospital Chapel and Queen Mary Court buildings, taken in 1845 by William Henry Fox Talbot. The image has been inversed digitally to create a striking positive effect, highlighting the intricate details of the architecture.
In the foreground, we see Rysbrack's statue of George II standing proudly in front of Queen Anne Court, with a seated figure to its left casting a shadow. The south-west corner of Queen Anne Court is visible on the left side of the image, while the north-east corner of the Queen's House can be seen in the distance on the far right.
The scene exudes a sense of history and grandeur, transporting us back to 19th century England. The fine details captured by Talbot's lens showcase his mastery as a photographer and documentarian. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of these iconic buildings but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this piece is not just a simple snapshot but rather a window into another time, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty and architectural marvels of Greenwich.
