EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Turners House in Maiden Lane, London, dating back to 1881. The birthplace of the renowned painter JMW Turner (1775-1851), this historic building holds great significance in British art history. Located above his father's barbershop at number 21, this humble abode witnessed the early years of one of Britain's most celebrated landscape artists. The image showcases the architectural beauty of the 19th-century structure with its Victorian charm. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era. As night falls over Covent Garden, we can imagine young Turner gazing out from these very windows, perhaps already dreaming about capturing nature's wonders on canvas. This print is sourced from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" authored by Edward Walford and published by Cassell & Co. , Ltd in 1881. It serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on not only Turner's birthplace but also provides insights into life in Westminster during that period. As we admire this image today, it reminds us of the profound impact JMW Turner had on British art and how his artistic journey began right here in this unassuming building on Maiden Lane. This photograph allows us to connect with an important chapter in our cultural heritage and appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by one of England's greatest painters.
