EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The artist, Thomas Bowles, skillfully captures the grandeur of St Mary-le-Bow Church and its surroundings in exquisite detail. Standing tall against the city skyline, the church's steeple reaches towards the heavens, a symbol of faith and Christianity in this vibrant metropolis. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to Cheapside, a lively street filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. The monochrome palette adds a sense of timelessness to the scene, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of St Mary-le-Bow and the dynamic street life that unfolds beneath it. As we gaze upon this engraving from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed over centuries while also recognizing familiar elements that still define London today. This image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers a glimpse into an era where religion played an integral role in shaping society.
