Balmes House in 1750, (c1876) - A Glimpse into London's Enigmatic Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1750, offering a rare glimpse into the historical Balmes House. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. Balmes House, located in Hoxton, East London, underwent significant transformations over the years. Originally rebuilt by Sir George Whitmore, Lord Mayor of London, it later fell into the hands of Richard de Beauvoir before being repurposed as a private asylum. This intriguing history adds layers of intrigue to this architectural gem. The monochrome aesthetic beautifully captures the grandeur and elegance of Georgian architecture prevalent during that era. The building stands tall against a night sky backdrop while surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens that exude tranquility. Intriguingly framed within this snapshot are background figures - men who perhaps played pivotal roles in shaping Balmes House's fate or were simply passersby witnessing its majesty. This print is part of Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places". Published by Cassell Petter Galpin & Co. , it serves as a visual testament to Britain's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image frozen in time between the 18th and 19th centuries, we cannot help but be transported back to an era where Balmes House stood as both a symbol of opulence and refuge for those seeking solace within its walls.
