EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by E Edwards that takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. This monochrome masterpiece captures the essence of a bygone era with its intricate details and powerful imagery. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the sign itself - an awe-inspiring depiction of a fierce mythical dragon. With its piercing eyes and menacing expression, it exudes an air of strength and authority. The artist's skillful rendering brings this legendary creature to life, making it seem almost tangible. Set against the backdrop of historic buildings in Bishopsgate, London, this print offers a glimpse into city life during that time period. It transports us to a world where inn signs were not just mere advertisements but also works of art that captured people's attention as they passed by. As we admire this piece from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we can't help but wonder about the stories behind these ancient establishments. What tales unfolded within their walls? Who were the patrons who sought refuge after long journeys or enjoyed lively conversations over pints? This evocative image serves as a reminder that history lives on through art. It invites us to explore our past and appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such pieces as well as their cultural significance.
