EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. Captured in 1772 by Samuel Hieronymus Grimm, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the upper part of St Marylebone High Street and the turnpike. The monochrome palette adds an air of nostalgia, emphasizing the timeless beauty of this British city. The image showcases a charming avenue lined with elegant buildings that stand as testaments to England's rich architectural heritage. Each house exudes character and tells its own story, while the ink wash technique used by Grimm adds depth and texture to the scene. As we follow the road, our eyes are drawn towards a picturesque lane leading us further into this enchanting location. Nature finds its place amidst urban life as trees gracefully frame both sides of the street, offering respite from bustling city activities. This harmonious blend between man-made structures and natural elements is quintessentially English. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this historic photograph allows us to appreciate how St Marylebone High Street has evolved over time while still retaining its unique charm. It serves as a reminder of London's enduring spirit and provides an opportunity for us to reflect on our shared cultural heritage.
