EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Clerkenwell, London in 1829. The focal point of this image is St Johns Gate, an architectural masterpiece that was constructed in 1504 by Thomas Docwra, the prior of the Priory of the Knights of Saint John. Standing tall and proud, it serves as a testament to centuries-old history. The gate's significance goes beyond its stunning facade; today, part of this magnificent building houses a museum dedicated to both the Knights Hospitallers and the St Johns Ambulance Brigade. As we gaze at this print captured by artist James B Allen, we can't help but feel transported back in time. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this scene from nineteenth-century England. The intricate details on St Johns Gate come alive through Allen's engraving technique, showcasing his skillful craftsmanship. The archway beckons us into another era as we imagine what life must have been like during those times. Clerkenwell's bustling streets are also depicted here - a snapshot into street life with people going about their daily routines. This artwork offers not only a visual feast for architecture enthusiasts but also invites contemplation on religion and Christianity's influence on society. Preserved within these lines and shadows is an invaluable piece of London's heritage that continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
