EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the majestic National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic in Queen Square, Bloomsbury. The intricate details of this architectural masterpiece are brought to life through the skilled hands of an English School artist. The image transports us to a time when horses were an integral part of daily life. A magnificent shire horse stands proudly in front of the hospital, symbolizing strength and resilience. Surrounding it are other equine companions - racehorses, ponies, and stallions - creating a lively scene that captures the essence of equestrian culture during that era. Beyond its equine inhabitants, this historic building holds great significance as a sanctuary for those suffering from paralysis and epilepsy. Its grandeur is evident in its design, reflecting both elegance and functionality. As we delve into this snapshot from The Illustrated London News dated July 4th, 1885, we catch a glimpse of not only architecture but also wildlife animals grazing nearby. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature adds depth to our understanding of Queen Square's surroundings. With every stroke meticulously etched onto paper by Peter Jackson Collection artists working under Look and Learn's guidance, this print becomes more than just an illustration; it becomes a window into another time - one where buildings like these played crucial roles in society's welfare. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today
