EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of St. Johns Gate in Clerkenwell, London. Built in 1504 by Thomas Docwra, prior of the Priory of the Knights of Saint John, this magnificent gate served as the south entrance to the inner precinct. The photograph is taken from Sir Walter Besant's book "London in the Eighteenth Century" published by A. & C. Black Ltd. in 1925. The image showcases the architectural grandeur of this historic landmark, with its aged stone facade standing tall against a backdrop of urban landscape. The gate exudes an air of mystery and reverence, symbolizing centuries-old Christianity and religious heritage. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported back to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these streets and London was still evolving into the bustling city it is today. The unknown creator has expertly captured every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship that went into constructing such a masterpiece and its significance within British history. This print serves as a window into another time - a reminder that amidst modernity's rapid progress, there are remnants of our past that continue to shape our present-day identity.
