The Kings Mews, (1881)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 18th century in Westminster, London. In this mesmerizing image, we are transported to the Charing Cross Road where the magnificent Kings Mews stands proudly. Designed by William Kent and constructed in 1732, these royal stables exude an air of grandeur and elegance. The photograph showcases the impressive architecture of the Kings Mews with its neo-classical style. The intricate details of the building's exterior are beautifully captured in monochrome, emphasizing its timeless beauty. Standing tall behind it is the iconic church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, adding a touch of spirituality to this bustling cityscape. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost imagine horses trotting through those doors and into their regal abode. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on London's streets. This historic photograph comes from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" written by Edward Walford in 1881. It serves as a testament to both British architectural heritage and artistic craftsmanship. "The Kings Mews" print transports us back centuries ago when occupation meant tending to majestic steeds rather than sitting behind desks or screens. It reminds us that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, glimpses into our rich past can still be found if we take the time to appreciate them.
