EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting Hampstead Heath in the year 1840. The image, captured by an unknown creator, offers a rare aerial view of this historic London heath during Henry II's reign. Once privately owned by Alexander de Barentyn, the King's butler in the early 19th century, it eventually became common land for all to enjoy. The scene depicted is one of tranquility and natural beauty. The rolling hillsides covered with lush plants and scattered trees create a picturesque backdrop for this snapshot of rural life amidst a bustling city. In the foreground, a horse-drawn cart can be seen traversing along a rustic road as men go about their daily activities. Hampstead Heath has long been cherished as an open space where people seek solace from urban life. This photograph captures its timeless charm and serves as a testament to its enduring significance throughout history. It reminds us of the importance of preserving such green spaces within our ever-expanding cities. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a simpler time when nature played an integral role in shaping our surroundings. This print from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" by Edward Walford allows us to appreciate both the rich heritage of Hampstead Heath and the skillful artistry behind capturing its essence on film.
