EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of Tudor houses on the corner of Chancery Lane, Fleet Street in 1789. The intricate details of the Grotesque Bracketed Front and Projecting Stories from the reign of Edward VI are beautifully depicted in this copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith. The scene is bustling with street characters such as the Welsh dwarf Jeremiah Davies and legless Samuel Horsey, known as the King of the Beggars.
The architecture of these Tudor houses showcases a unique blend of charm and history, with their oak beams and plaster facades standing proudly against the cobbled streets. It's a snapshot frozen in time, offering a window into London's past during this period.
Sadly, these historic buildings were demolished in 1799, leaving only memories captured in prints like this one to remind us of their existence. This image serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of life that once filled these streets, where everyday people lived alongside characters who left their mark on history.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when Tudor architecture reigned supreme and colorful personalities roamed the streets. It's a piece that not only celebrates London's architectural heritage but also pays homage to those who once called these buildings home.
