EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Mercers Chapel, as it stood proudly after being rebuilt following a devastating fire in 1897. The chapel, belonging to the Worshipful Company of Mercers in the heart of London's City, is a true testament to resilience and architectural beauty. Designed by Edward Jarman and John Oliver, this second Hall and chapel replaced its predecessor that fell victim to the Great Fire of 1666. Opening its doors in May 1676, it holds a unique distinction as the only City Livery Company with its very own private chapel. The image captures the grandeur of this baroque-era masterpiece against a backdrop of bustling Cheapside. Its intricate facade stands tall amidst other buildings along Ironmonger Lane, exuding an air of elegance that has endured for centuries. Preserved within this monochrome photograph are layers of history and craftsmanship. It transports us back to a time when trade thrived on these streets and guilds played significant roles in shaping society. Published in Walter Thornbury's renowned work "Old and New London" this print serves as both an artistic treasure and a historical document. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how architecture can transcend generations while embodying the spirit of an era long gone.
