EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent St. Antholins Church on Watling Street in the City of London during two different centuries. The original church, designed by renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren after it was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, is depicted here as it stood in the 17th century. However, this stunning architectural masterpiece met its unfortunate fate when it was demolished in 1874. The image showcases a bustling avenue with a horse-drawn cart passing by, giving us a glimpse into daily life during that time period. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing both the historical significance and grandeur of this religious landmark. Published in Walter Thornbury's "Old and New London" volume I from 1897, this photograph provides us with an invaluable visual record of St. Antholins Church before its demolition. It serves as a testament to England's rich heritage and Christian traditions. As we admire this print today, we are transported back through time to witness not only the architectural brilliance of Sir Christopher Wren but also gain insight into how people lived and worked along Watling Street during these periods. This image truly encapsulates both history and artistry at their finest.
