EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1880, offering a glimpse into the past and showcasing Cromwell House. Painted by the talented artist John Crowther, this view of Cromwell House near Smithfield and Clerkenwell Close is a true testament to his skill. The image captures an era when horse-drawn carts were a common sight on the roads of England. In front of Cromwell House stands a majestic horse and cart, adding charm to this already picturesque scene. It's fascinating to think that this building was once Oliver Cromwell's residence, making it steeped in historical significance as he served as Lord Protector during the Commonwealth period. The color palette used in this watercolor painting brings life to every detail, from the vibrant hues of surrounding buildings to the subtle shades adorning street signs and facades. The location itself holds great importance within London's history - situated between Finsbury and Islington, it represents a thriving area filled with activity. Preserved for posterity at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork invites us on a journey through time. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back over a century ago when road transport dominated these streets. This mesmerizing piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable window into London's rich heritage.
