Old Blackfriars is a historical novel set in the 17th century, during the time of the famous Flemish artist Anthony Van Dyck. The story follows the lives of a group of characters who live in and around the Blackfriars area of London, including artists, writers, and members of the aristocracy. The main character is a young artist named Philip, who is trying to make a name for himself in the competitive world of art. Along the way, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Margaret, who is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and the struggle for artistic recognition in a time when the art world was dominated by the likes of Van Dyck. The author, Beatrice Marshall, was a prolific writer of historical fiction in the early 20th century, and her vivid descriptions of life in 17th century London make this book a fascinating read for anyone interested in history, art, or romance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
