EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Upper Thames Street in London, back in 1882. The focal point of the image is St James Garlickhythe, a magnificent church that stands proudly amidst the bustling cityscape. With its towering spire and intricate architectural details, it serves as a testament to the rich history and enduring presence of Christianity in this vibrant metropolis. Adjacent to the church, we catch a glimpse of the Caledonian Coffee Rooms at 190 Upper Thames Street. This popular coffee house was undoubtedly a hub for locals and visitors alike, seeking respite from their busy lives or engaging in lively conversations over a warm cup of coffee. Its inviting exterior adds an extra layer of charm to this already picturesque scene. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than John Crowther, whose talent shines through his use of color and attention to detail. Through his watercolor brushstrokes, he transports us back to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobblestone lanes. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this artwork offers us a window into nineteenth-century London life. It reminds us not only of the physical transformations our cities undergo but also how religion has played an integral role throughout history.
