EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases College Hill, a charming avenue lined with historic buildings, leading up to the magnificent Church of St Michael Paternoster Royal. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is the foreground that reveals an ongoing construction site, giving us a glimpse into the city's ever-evolving architecture. The church tower stands tall and proud against the cloudy sky, showcasing Sir Christopher Wren's architectural brilliance. As one of Britain's most renowned architects, Wren left an indelible mark on English history with his iconic designs. The Church of St Michael Paternoster Royal serves as a testament to his genius and remains a symbol of Christian faith in this vibrant city. John Crowther skillfully captured this moment in time through watercolour artistry, preserving not only the physical structures but also the spirit and essence of 19th century London. This print is now housed in Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for all to admire. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobblestone streets and people went about their daily lives amidst grand architectural marvels. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be traces of our rich heritage standing proudly before us.
