EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Van Duns almshouses in Petty France, accompanied by a striking mural monument located in St Margarets Church, Westminster. The image, captured by renowned artist John Thomas Smith, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of London. The Elizabethan timber frame almshouse stands proudly as a testament to its past purpose - providing shelter for twenty impoverished widows.

Intriguingly, this print also features a portrait of Cornelius Van Dun himself, whose generosity made these almshouses possible. His presence adds an intimate touch to the scene and allows us to connect with his philanthropic spirit across time.

Their dedication to preserving London's heritage shines through in this exquisite piece. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to an age where architecture was art and compassion was paramount. This print is not just an image; it is a portal that invites us to explore England's past and appreciate its enduring legacy.
