EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print showcases the exterior elevations of buildings along the south side of Queens Street and Kings Street in the historic English town of Kings Lynn, Norfolk. Dated 1944, the image is a measured drawing by the renowned architectural draftsman A J Phillips, commissioned by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME). The graphic illustration captures the residential architecture of the period, with each building meticulously rendered in intricate detail. The rows of terraced houses, their brick facades weathered by time, display a sense of history and character that is quintessentially British. The windows, some with their original shutters still in place, offer glimpses into the past, inviting the viewer to imagine the lives that were once lived within. The illustration also highlights the town's architectural diversity, with a mix of Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian styles represented. The ornate details of the Tudor buildings, with their timber-framed gables and intricate brickwork, contrast sharply with the clean lines and symmetry of the Georgian and Victorian structures. The labelled sheet accompanying the drawing adds an extra layer of interest, providing valuable information about each building, including their historical significance and architectural style. This print is not only a beautiful and intriguing work of art but also an important historical document, offering a unique insight into the architectural heritage of Kings Lynn during the mid-20th century.
