EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of City of London in 1830. The artist, John Greig, skillfully captures the grandeur and significance of the Entrance to Barber Surgeons Hall. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when barber surgeons held an esteemed position in society. The image showcases a magnificent door adorned with intricate heraldry and the coat of arms, symbolizing the prestige associated with this livery company. The engraving is so detailed that it allows us to appreciate every fine line and delicate curve. Intriguingly, figures can be seen around the entrance, adding life and context to the scene. We catch a glimpse of individuals going about their daily tasks - perhaps barbers or surgeons themselves - as they navigate through this historic doorway. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's presence is also felt in this artwork as he collaborated with Greig on capturing every architectural detail flawlessly. Together, these talented artists have immortalized not only a place but also an entire profession. As we admire this remarkable piece from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, let us reflect on how occupations like barber surgeon played significant roles in shaping our history. This print serves as a testament to their expertise and dedication while offering us a window into London's past.
