Description: | Rose Henriques's lively watercolour depicts a Stepney yard occupied by sheds and derelict cottages. Little over a decade later, the yard had become the site of Basil House in Berner Street.
Henriques was a self-taught artist whose works are full of affection for Stepney and east London. This work depicts the street in which she and her husband Basil opened the Bernhard Baron St George's Jewish Settlement in 1929.
Henriques' body of work records part of the East End during a time of intensive change. By the end of the 20th century, almost all of the views she depicted had long-since vanished. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Maurice Davis | Subjects: | Communities Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1931-1935 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
