EDITORS COMMENTS
The General Register Office, Somerset House (litho) captures the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic government building in London. The lithograph, created by William Douglas Almond in 1890, showcases the architectural beauty of Somerset House with intricate details and precision. In this print, we see a young girl standing on the left side of the image, perhaps representing innocence or hope amidst the bureaucratic atmosphere. The General Register Office served as a vital institution for registering births, deaths, marriages, and conducting inquiries during that time. The inclusion of references to Charles Dickens and his novel 'Bleak House' adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. Dickens famously described Somerset House as "a great pile of houses" in his novel which criticized bureaucracy and its impact on society. This print transports us back to a bygone era when widows sought pensions at the Inquiry Office within these walls. It serves as a reminder of how far our systems have evolved over time while also highlighting the enduring importance of record-keeping for future generations. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. As we admire this lithograph today, it allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
