EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View Lambeth Whitehall Stairs copy 1625-77" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London during the 17th century. The etching, created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a talented Bohemian artist from Prague, showcases his meticulous attention to detail. The scene unfolds with Lambeth Palace in the distance on the left and Whitehall Stairs on the right foreground. A range of gabled buildings can be seen projecting farther towards the river, creating a picturesque backdrop. In the center is a two-storied wing built along the foreshore, its piers ending with a door that leads down to a plank walk over water. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the Whitehall Stairs themselves. Ferry boats are seen docked nearby, ready to transport passengers in various directions across the river. The steps down to water level are busy with people going about their daily activities - some ascending or descending while others wait patiently for their turn. This print not only captures an important historical moment but also invites viewers to imagine what life was like in London centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of how much our surroundings have changed over time and allows us to appreciate both our past and present cityscapes.
