EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Wych Street, 1877" transports us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. Created by renowned artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, this print measures 21.3x13.3 cm and is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The image depicts Wych Street, a now-vanished thoroughfare that once stood where Australia House stands today on Aldwych. This medieval street with its overhanging facades exudes an air of mystery and history. It is evident that Whistler was captivated by the architectural beauty of these buildings as he meticulously captures their intricate details. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and gas lamps illuminated the city at nightfall. The etching showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of both Whistler's artistic skills and the skilled builders who constructed these magnificent structures. Whistler's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also the delicate nuances of each building lining Wych Street. Through his artistry, he immortalizes a moment in time before modernization transformed London's landscape forever. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our ever-changing world while celebrating the enduring beauty found within historical architecture. It invites viewers to reflect on how cities evolve over time yet still retain echoes of their pasts for future generations to admire and cherish.
