EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View of the Abbey of St Saviour, Bermondsey, 1805" takes us back in time to the serene district of Bermondsey in south London. Created by Robert Blemell Schnebbelie, a skilled artist from the early 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this area. The Abbey of St Saviour stands proudly at the center of the image, its grandeur and elegance evident even in black and white. This Benedictine priory-turned-monastery was an important religious establishment during its time. Surrounded by lush gardens that add a touch of tranquility to the urban landscape, it served as a sanctuary for both spiritual contemplation and natural beauty. Bermondsey itself is situated on the banks of River Thames, with Southwark to its west and Rotherhithe to its east. The district's strategic location made it an integral part of London's bustling cityscape. As we admire this engraving, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to 1805 when life moved at a slower pace amidst these picturesque surroundings. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this piece as if we were standing right there beside Schnebbelie himself. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared heritage but also how art has always been intertwined with our understanding and appreciation for history.
