EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "High Street at the Manor House, Marylebone," was created by the Swiss artist Samuel Hieronymus Grimm in 1772. The image transports us back in time to the bustling streets of 18th century London, specifically in the affluent area of Marylebone. Grimm masterfully captures the essence of the scene with his intricate use of pen and black ink with gray wash over graphite on laid paper. The print showcases a lively High Street, with figures of all walks of life going about their daily business. Houses line the street, their facades displaying a mix of architectural styles, from grand manor houses to modest cottages. A fence separates the street from the manor house's expansive grounds, adding a sense of exclusivity and privacy. Grimm's attention to detail is evident in the way he renders the textures of the buildings, the folds of the figures' clothing, and the intricate patterns of the fence. The use of gray wash adds depth and dimension to the image, while the graphite underdrawing provides a subtle contrast. The print is a testament to Grimm's artistic skill and his ability to capture the spirit of a bygone era. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the history and heritage of London during the 18th century. This print is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art or the history of London.
