EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1912, offering a glimpse into the enchanting world of Joanna Baillie. The image showcases her beautiful house nestled on Windmill Hill in Hampstead, London. Joanna Baillie, a renowned Scottish poet and dramatist from the 19th century, found solace and inspiration within these walls. At that time, Hampstead was still considered a quaint village before becoming part of bustling London. The illustration comes from the book "Famous Houses and Literary Shrines of London" by John Adcock, published by J M Dent and Sons in 1912. The engraving captures the exterior of Baillie's home with meticulous detail. It stands as a testament to architectural elegance from another era. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece created by Frederick Adcock, we can't help but feel transported to a different time. The print evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who appreciate history and literature. It serves as an homage to both Joanna Baillie's legacy as well as the artistic talents of Frederick Adcock himself. Let this image be a reminder that even today, amidst our fast-paced lives in modern cities like London, there are hidden gems waiting to be discovered – places where creativity thrived long ago and continues to inspire generations yet unborn.
