EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print transports us back to the bustling Coade Stone factory yard on Narrow Wall Street in Lambeth, London, around 1800. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the industrious nature of Britain's construction industry during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot of history, as we witness workers going about their daily tasks amidst a backdrop of charming buildings and narrow lanes. George Shepherd's skilled hand beautifully portrays the exterior of the factory and its surroundings, providing us with a glimpse into an era when craftsmanship was highly valued. Located in Lambeth, this avenue served as a hub for Coade Stone production – an artificial stone widely used in architectural projects across England. The presence of people going about their work further emphasizes the industrial atmosphere that permeated these streets during this time period. As we admire this historical gem from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, it is impossible not to be transported back to a time when manual labor played such an integral role in shaping our country. This print serves as both a testament to British ingenuity and a reminder of how far we have come since those days.
