EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London, showcasing the magnificent Church of St Mary le Bow. The artist behind this exquisite piece is none other than John Le Keux, who beautifully captures the architectural grandeur of Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece. The image presents a section of the church's north elevation and plans for its steeple, revealing intricate details that make it a true marvel. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are drawn not only to the impressive structure but also to the figures below on Cheapside, adding a touch of life to this monochrome scene. St Mary le Bow stands as an iconic symbol of British Christianity and religious heritage. Its presence in the heart of London reflects both England's rich history and its strong ties with Christian faith. This engraving serves as a testament to these cultural connections, transporting us back in time when religion played a central role in society. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork allows us to appreciate not only Wren's genius but also Le Keux's skillful craftsmanship. It invites contemplation about how architecture can shape our surroundings while reminding us of the importance of preserving historical landmarks like St Mary le Bow for future generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images, let us immerse ourselves in its beauty and reflect on how art has always been intertwined with our understanding and appreciation for history.
