This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the early 19th century. The image, titled "Erecting Porticos at Newham Street and Middlesex Hospital, London, 1833 and 1840" captures a pivotal moment in architectural history. In this scene, we witness a group of skilled workmen diligently constructing grand porticos for two iconic buildings. The intricate wooden scaffolding stretches high into the sky as these builders meticulously shape each detail. Their dedication to their craft is evident as they laboriously create these magnificent structures that will soon adorn the entrances of Newham Street and Middlesex Hospital. The artist, George Scharf the Elder, masterfully portrays this construction site with his pencil on paper technique. His sketch-like drawing style adds an element of authenticity to this historical documentation.
