EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Popes House, located in Plough Court on Lombard Street in London. The image, taken in 1860 and published in Walter Thornbury's Old and New London volume of 1897, showcases the architectural beauty of this renowned building. The house holds significant historical importance as it is believed to be the birthplace of Alexander Pope, a celebrated poet and satirist who lived from 1688 to 1744. Standing proudly amidst the bustling cityscape, Popes House was rebuilt around 1872 after undergoing renovations. The photograph depicts an exterior view of the house against a monochrome backdrop. Its elegant design reflects traditional British architecture prevalent during the nineteenth century. As you gaze at this image, you can almost imagine what life would have been like during that time period – horses trotting along the avenue, people going about their daily occupations. This remarkable print serves as a visual testament to both England's rich history and its vibrant literary heritage. It transports us back to an era where Plough Court thrived with activity and Alexander Pope honed his craft within these very walls. Preserved by The Print Collector under George Walter Thornbury's publication for Cassell and Company Ltd. , this photograph allows us to appreciate not only our past but also how far we've come as a society. It reminds us that even centuries later, we can still connect with our roots through images like these – snapshots frozen in time for future generations to cherish.
