EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Albemarle Street in 1852. The image, titled "John Murray, Albomarle Street, 1852" captures a moment frozen in time by an unknown English School artist from the 19th century. The photograph showcases the iconic John Murray bookstore located on Albemarle Street. This historical establishment was renowned for its contribution to literature and publishing during that era. It served as a hub for intellectuals, writers, and avid readers alike. The significance of this particular image lies in its association with Austen Layard's groundbreaking work, "Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon". Published by John Murray himself in 1853, this engraving was used as an illustration within Layard's book. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection today, we are transported not only to Victorian London but also to ancient civilizations such as Babylon and Nineveh. The fusion of past and present is beautifully captured through this artwork. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this piece of history for us to admire. Its monochromatic tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously reminding us of the timeless nature of literature and knowledge.
