EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print by Augustus Charles Pugin takes us back to the bustling city of London in 1829. The focal point is the magnificent New London Bridge, stretching across the River Thames with grandeur and grace. As we gaze upon this architectural marvel, our eyes are drawn to the iconic Monument and spire of St Magnus the Martyr on the left, while Southwark Cathedral proudly stands on the right. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this scene to life, capturing a moment when sailboats gracefully glide through the shimmering waters beneath. The vibrant colours add depth and vibrancy to an already enchanting panorama. This artwork serves as a testament not only to Pugin's skill but also to his deep appreciation for religious landmarks. It reminds us of how Christianity has played a significant role in shaping London's skyline throughout history. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print offers us a glimpse into 19th-century transportation as boats navigate their way along one of London's most important thoroughfares. It invites viewers into a world where water transport was vital for trade and travel. As we admire this historical masterpiece, let us appreciate its beauty without commercial intent – allowing it instead to serve as a window into an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory.
