Description: | This print looks towards the southeast end of Mill Street. The archway at the end of the street is thought to be the entrance to Savile Passage, leading to Savile Place. Bombed during the Second World War, this end of Mill Street is now the northwest end of Savile Row.
Savile Row acquired a reputation for high-quality customised tailoring in the early 19th century. This reputation for excellence continued into the 21st century and the Row contains some of the finest tailors in the world.
London-born etcher and painter Stanley Badmin studied at the Royal College of Art. There he developed the distinctive and carefully executed style he used to portray English scenes. As in all of Badmin's etchings, human activity plays an intimate part, with small, carefully observed figures. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Digital image Museum of London | Subjects: | Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1932 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
