EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, specifically to Samuel Pepys's library in York Buildings. The image showcases a stunning view towards the Thames River, as seen from this historic library. The photograph is a reproduction of a contemporary drawing found in the catalogue of Pepys Library at Magdalene College, Cambridge. The room exudes an air of elegance and sophistication with its antique furniture and decorative arts. A wooden cabinet stands proudly against one wall, adorned with books that reflect Pepys's literary interests. A chair sits nearby, inviting readers to immerse themselves in literature while enjoying the breathtaking view outside. The interior design of the library captures the essence of British heritage and history. Lieut. -Col. E. F Strange expertly edited this volume on old furniture, showcasing his passion for preserving historical artifacts like this remarkable library. Through this monochrome image, we are transported to early 20th-century London - a city bustling with culture and intellectual pursuits. The window frames frame the picturesque view perfectly while allowing natural light to illuminate the room's atmosphere. This print serves as a reminder of our rich past and encourages us to appreciate both literature and architecture as integral parts of our cultural heritage. It is truly a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
