EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1821, providing a glimpse into the rich history of St Bartholomew's Priory in Smithfield, City of London. The ground plan depicted here showcases the intricate layout of this religious site, offering a fascinating insight into its architectural design. As we examine the image closely, we can appreciate the attention to detail that went into creating this engraving. Alongside the ground plan, two additional elements catch our eye: the conventual seal and a key. These symbols add an extra layer of significance to this historical document, representing both authority and access. St Bartholomew's Priory holds great importance in Christian history as one of England's oldest monastic institutions. Its existence dates back centuries before this 19th-century representation was made by T. Bourne. This priory played a vital role in promoting Christianity within London and served as a center for religious activities. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome print serves as a valuable artifact that connects us with our past. It allows us to explore not only the physical structure but also provides insights into religious practices during that era.
