"Exploring London's Rich History through the Art of Robert Blemmell Schnebbelie" Step back in time to 19th century London with artist Robert Blemmell Schnebbelie as your guide. From the bustling streets of Essex Road, Islington in 1842 to the serene interior of John Bunyan's meeting house in Zoar Street, Southwark in 1822, Schnebbelie captures the essence of a bygone era. In Shaftesbury House on Aldersgate Street, we are transported to 1819, where Schnebbelie's brushstrokes bring this grand building to life. The excitement continues as we witness a balloon ascending near Lords Cricket Ground around 1839 - an awe-inspiring sight that surely captivated all who witnessed it. Moving on to Brambletye House, both its interiors and exteriors are beautifully depicted by Schnebbelie around c1835. His attention to detail transports us into these spaces frozen in time. As we journey further across London, we encounter the West view of the Lock Hospital on Kingsland Road in Hackney from 1815. This poignant piece reminds us of the city's history and its efforts towards public health during this period. St Barnabas Chapel stands proudly amidst Finsbury with its intricate architecture showcased by an unknown artist circa 1820. It serves as a testament to religious devotion and architectural brilliance within our capital city. The River Thames comes alive before our eyes with AW Warren's stunning view of Woolwich from 1806 and W Hawkins' depiction of London Docks at Wapping from 1805. These artworks transport us back to when trade flourished along these historic waterways. Finally, Tower Hill reveals itself through Schnebbelie's lens in his portrayal of the Wall of London dating back to 1818. Its imposing presence reminds us of the city's fortifications and its rich history.
