Légende

Cheyne-Row, Chelsea, where Thomas Carlyle lived, 1881. 'The house at Chelsea, in which this great author lived so long as forty-seven years, has often attracted the respectful curiosity of those visitors to London who had a taste for the current biographical anecdotes of contemporary men of letters. It stands in a retired and rather obscure situation, Great Cheyne-row, at the back of the west side of Oakley-street, and very near the Thames Embankment. It used formerly to be No. 5, but is now reckoned No. 24, Cheyne-row, and the back of a new block of Model Dwellings rises directly opposite its front door and windows. It is said that Carlyle would never hear of removing to another house, and he was much averse to any change of his domestic or personal habits'. Included is an inset of Carlyle's birthplace in Ecclefechan. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
