EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print takes us back in time to Milton Street, London, around the year 1804. The artist behind this masterpiece is C Matthews, who expertly captures the essence of this historic location. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent building that stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Legend has it that this very building may have been the home of two remarkable individuals: Dick Whittington and Sir Thomas Gresham. Both figures played significant roles in shaping London's history and their presence adds an air of intrigue to this already fascinating scene. The color palette chosen by Matthews brings life to every detail within the frame. From the chimney stacks reaching towards the sky to the shabby yet charming exterior of nearby buildings, each element tells a story of its own. This watercolour painting truly transports us back to a bustling cityscape in 19th century England. Preserved for generations at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print serves as a window into London's past. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also offers glimpses into daily life during that era. As we admire this extraordinary piece, let us be reminded of how art can connect us with history and inspire curiosity about those who came before us.
