EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Basinghall Street in the City of London, circa 1845. The artist behind this remarkable piece is James Tingle, who skillfully captures the essence of Gresham College with his engraving. Gresham College stands proudly amidst a sea of other magnificent buildings, showcasing the architectural brilliance that defined 19th-century Britain. Its grandeur and elegance are evident from its imposing exterior, displaying a perfect blend of classical design elements. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we can almost imagine ourselves walking down this historic avenue alongside the people captured in time. It's fascinating to witness how life unfolded on these very streets centuries ago. The significance of Gresham College cannot be overstated as it played a pivotal role in education during this era. Founded by Sir Thomas Gresham himself, an influential figure in English history, it served as a hub for intellectual discourse and learning. This photograph transports us back to an era when education was highly valued and sought after by individuals from all walks of life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, institutions like Gresham College provided opportunities for knowledge-seeking individuals to expand their horizons. Thanks to artists like James Tingle and collections such as Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, we can continue to appreciate and preserve these glimpses into our rich cultural heritage.
