EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing Milton's House in Petty France. The artist, William Patten, skillfully portrays the home of John Milton, one of England's most renowned poets. Located at No. 19 York Street in London, this historic house holds great significance as it was where Milton resided during his lifetime. Milton is best known for his epic masterpiece Paradise Lost, which was first published in 1667. His literary genius and profound impact on English literature are beautifully symbolized by this image of his former residence. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the rich history that surrounds this location. As we gaze upon the scene, we can almost imagine ourselves walking down the road towards the building. The quaint garden and tree-lined avenue behind the house evoke a sense of tranquility amidst bustling Westminster. This juxtaposition between nature and city life creates an enchanting atmosphere that perfectly encapsulates Milton's creative spirit. Thanks to Walter Besant's book Westminster published in 1897, we have been granted a glimpse into this significant piece of literary heritage through William Patten's artistic lens. This stunning print serves as a reminder of John Milton's enduring legacy and invites us to appreciate both his remarkable work and the historical context in which he lived.
