EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning exterior facade of Washhouse Court, with the Inner Gateway, in Old Charterhouse. Dating back to the 14th century, this historic complex of buildings in Smithfield, London has a rich and diverse history. Originally founded as a Carthusian priory in 1371, it later served as a mansion house, school, and almshouse. The image transports us back to the late 19th century when it was captured for The Magazine of Art by Joseph Pennell. His engraving beautifully captures the architectural details of this remarkable structure. The monochrome setting adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to the intricate chimneys that adorn the rooftops while taking in the grandeur of Charterhouse Square. The surrounding streets and lanes create an avenue leading towards this magnificent building. It is fascinating to imagine how life must have been during those times - bustling streets filled with people going about their daily lives against such a backdrop steeped in history. This image serves as a reminder not only of Britain's architectural heritage but also its commitment to charity through institutions like Charterhouse. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of Old Charterhouse while preserving its legacy for generations to come.
