EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Charles James Freake, an eminent builder, developer, and philanthropist who left a lasting impact on London's landscape in the 19th century. Known for his contributions to the Smith's Charity estate and the construction of the National Training School for Music (now known as the Royal College of Organists), Freake was a visionary figure who dedicated himself to enhancing his community.
In this satirical drawing from "Vanity Fair," Freake is depicted in all his glory, standing tall and proud in his coat and jacket. His distinguished appearance with grey hair and beard exudes wisdom and authority, reflecting his status as a respected leader in British culture. The artist, Theobald Chartran, skillfully captures Freake's likeness with intricate detail and precision.
As one gazes upon this portrait of Charles James Freake, it is impossible not to be inspired by his legacy of innovation and generosity. His Baron title bestowed upon him in 1882 serves as a testament to his remarkable achievements in the realm of building and philanthropy. This chromolithograph serves as a timeless tribute to a man whose contributions continue to shape London's architectural heritage to this day.
