EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print takes us back to the enchanting Bartletts Buildings in 1890. Painted by J. Appleton, this piece of art showcases the west side of these historic houses located in Holborn, London. The view is captured from an opening in Fetter Lane, revealing a narrow alley lined with dark brick houses that likely date back to the seventeenth century. Interestingly enough, these very buildings are mentioned in Jane Austen's beloved novel "Sense and Sensibility". It was here that the Miss Steeles resided upon their arrival in London. Sadly, as fate would have it, these charming structures were tragically destroyed during the bombings of World War II in 1941. The artist's delicate brushstrokes bring out the architectural details of each house while also capturing a sense of mystery and history within this hidden corner of London. The watercolor technique adds a softness and ethereal quality to the scene, evoking a nostalgic atmosphere. This print serves as both a visual delight for admirers of historical architecture and fans of Jane Austen's works alike. It transports viewers back to a time long gone but not forgotten – reminding us that even though physical structures may crumble over time, their stories continue to live on through art and literature.
