EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Old St. Dunstans Church, a true gem of medieval architecture in the heart of London. The image takes us back to 1814 when this historic church stood proudly on Fleet Street, before its removal in the early 19th century to make way for urban development. The photographer, unknown but undoubtedly skilled, captures the essence of this religious sanctuary with remarkable precision. The intricate details of the building's exterior are beautifully highlighted against a backdrop of an avenue lined with buildings from that era. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but feel transported to a different time and place – a time when Christianity played a central role in British society and religion was deeply intertwined with daily life. The photograph is part of "Old and New London". Volume I by Walter Thornbury, published by Cassell and Company Ltd. in 1897. This publication serves as both an invaluable historical record and testament to the enduring beauty of St Dunstan-in-the-West. Now preserved for eternity through this print collector's lens, Old St. Dunstans Church stands as a poignant reminder of our rich architectural heritage and reminds us how cities evolve over time while still preserving fragments from their pasts.
