Somerset House, London, 1777 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print of Somerset House, London in 1777. Captured by artist WG Moss, this black and white aquatint offers a unique perspective on the grand entrance to Somerset House located on the Strand. The image showcases not only the architectural brilliance of William Chambers' design but also provides a glimpse into daily life during the eighteenth century. Intriguingly monochrome, this print transports us to an era where carriages and carts were the primary modes of transportation along bustling city streets. As we observe from outside Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, Francis Jukes skillfully captures a moment frozen in time - a carriage passing by as pedestrians go about their business. The significance of Sir William Chambers' masterpiece is evident as it stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its imposing presence dominates the scene while inviting us to explore further down this historic avenue. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of one of London's iconic landmarks. It allows us to appreciate not only Moss' attention to detail but also his ability to transport viewers centuries into the past. Whether you are an art enthusiast or history buff, this exquisite piece will surely captivate your imagination and provide endless fascination for years to come.
