This print showcases the unique blend of architectural styles that can be found in St Patricks Church, Soho Square, London. Created by the talented artist Peter Anson in 1938, this pen and ink sketch beautifully captures a street frontage where an elegant Georgian house finds itself enclosed by two striking structures - an Italianate campanile and a Movietone News office. The juxtaposition of these different architectural elements creates a fascinating visual contrast. The grandeur of the Georgian house stands as a testament to its historical significance, while the towering campanile adds a touch of Italian charm to the scene. On the other side, the presence of the Movietone News office hints at modernity creeping into this traditional setting. Anson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. From intricate window frames to delicate brickwork patterns, he effortlessly brings life to this snapshot from Soho Square. This print not only serves as a beautiful piece of art but also acts as an important historical document capturing London's ever-evolving urban landscape. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness how architecture has evolved over decades. It reminds us that even amidst change and progress, remnants of our past continue to shape our present-day surroundings.
