EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures George Edmund Street, a renowned architect of the 19th century. Street, who began his career as an apprentice to GG Scott, went on to establish his own practice in 1848. He was known for his preference for the Gothic style and designed numerous churches across England. Additionally, he worked on restoration projects at prominent cathedrals such as Bristol, York Minster, and Christ Church in Dublin. One of Street's most notable works is the Royal Courts of Justice located in London's Strand district. This grand structure showcases his architectural prowess and attention to detail. However, Street's contributions extended beyond designing buildings; he also played a significant role as an influential teacher. In fact, he became Professor of Architecture at the prestigious Royal Academy in 1879. The photograph itself exudes a sense of professionalism and intellect that befits Street's occupation. His profile is captured with precision by Lock & Whitfield, talented photographers known for their contemporary portraits of distinguished individuals from various fields including politics, religion, science, literature, art, military service, law enforcement, and medicine.
