EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque view of Baumes House in Hoxton, London, circa 1825. Painted by CH Matthews, the artwork showcases a large house adorned with two rows of charming dormer windows. Nestled within walled grounds and guarded by an elegant gate on the right, Baumes House was once the esteemed residence of Sir George Whitmore – a prominent figure who served as Lord Mayor of London from 1634 to 1654. The foreground of this scene is enlivened by the presence of a majestic horse diligently pulling a barge along tranquil waters. The horse's strength and grace are juxtaposed against the peaceful backdrop created by nature's abundant beauty. This water transport adds an element of movement and vitality to an otherwise serene setting. Matthews' use of color in this watercolour painting brings life to every detail, from the vibrant hues adorning trees and plants to the subtle shades that highlight architectural features. The artist skillfully captures not only the external grandeur but also conveys a sense of history embedded within these walls. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into London's rich heritage during the nineteenth century. It serves as both a testament to Sir George Whitmore's legacy and an ode to Hoxton's timeless charm.
