EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Whitecross Street, London in 1871. The image showcases a beautifully crafted wooden staircase inside a house, revealing the intricate details of its bannisters and stairway. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported to a bygone era where elegance and craftsmanship were paramount. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia, emphasizing the timeless beauty of this architectural gem. Every step on these stairs whispers stories of countless footsteps that have treaded upon them over the years.

Charles James Richardson skillfully captured not only the physical structure but also the essence of British heritage in his watercolour masterpiece.
