EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Fetter Lane in the City of London, circa 1897. Standing proudly amidst a bustling cityscape, we are presented with a building that is said to have been occupied by none other than the renowned poet and dramatist John Dryden. The architectural beauty of this structure is evident as it exudes an air of elegance and history. The intricate details on its facade tell tales of a bygone era, while the alleyway leading to Fleur de Lys Court adds an element of mystery and intrigue. It is fascinating to imagine Dryden strolling through these very streets, finding inspiration for his literary masterpieces. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness Victorian England at its finest. The image captures not only the physicality of the building but also offers a glimpse into the profession and occupation that once thrived within its walls - J Fritz's furniture dealers. Preserved through Walter Thornbury's publication "Old and New London" this photograph serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that behind every street corner lies stories waiting to be discovered, connecting us with those who came before us. In this snapshot frozen in time, we find ourselves immersed in history; where architecture meets literature, where past meets present.
