EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back in time to Islington, London, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The image offers a bird's-eye view of this quaint village nestled in the English countryside. As we gaze upon this 19th-century print, we are transported to an era filled with charm and history. The landscape depicted in the lithograph showcases the simplicity and beauty of Islington during Queen Elizabeth I's rule. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details captured by an anonymous artist from that time. Guildhall Library and Art Gallery have preserved this remarkable piece, which serves as both a map and a window into the past. It provides valuable insight into how Islington looked centuries ago - its layout, architecture, and natural surroundings. Queen Elizabeth I herself is not present in the image; however, her influence can be felt throughout this elizabethan village. This print reminds us of her significant role as queen of England during that period. As we admire this historical artifact, let us reflect on how much has changed since then while appreciating how certain elements have stood the test of time. This print invites us to explore our heritage and connect with our roots through visual storytelling without any commercial intentions involved.
