EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic St Johns Gate in Clerkenwell, London, during the 1920s. Built in 1504 by Thomas Docwra, prior of the Priory of the Knights of Saint John, this architectural gem served as the south entrance to the inner precinct. Today, a part of this historic building is home to a museum dedicated to both the Knights Hospitallers and the St Johns Ambulance Brigade. The image showcases an impressive archway that transports us back to a bygone era. Its medieval charm is evident in every stone and intricate detail. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of its significance as an emblematic symbol of Christianity and religious devotion. This particular photograph was featured on a collectible cigarette card produced by Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd as part of their second series on British royal and ancient buildings. It stands as a testament to not only its historical importance but also its cultural value. As we explore this snapshot frozen in time, our imagination takes flight along Smithfield Road in London's bustling streetscape. The gate's Tudor architecture proudly stands against modernity while preserving centuries-old traditions within its walls. With each glance at this remarkable print captured by an unknown creator, we are transported into history - where religion meets artistry and heritage intertwines with progress.
