EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Clerkenwell in 1920s London. Standing tall and proud is St Johns Gate, an architectural masterpiece that dates back to the 16th century. Built by Thomas Docwra, prior of the Priory of the Knights of Saint John in 1504, this magnificent gate served as the south entrance to the inner precinct. The image captures a serene Sunday scene; sunlight gently illuminates the medieval archway while shadows dance along its ancient stones. The gatehouse now houses a museum dedicated to both the Knights Hospitallers and St Johns Ambulance Brigade - a testament to its rich history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of London's religious heritage and architectural marvels. The intricate details adorning St Johns Gate speak volumes about craftsmanship from centuries past. Its presence amidst modern buildings serves as a reminder of how history seamlessly intertwines with contemporary life. McLeish's artistic vision brings forth not only an appreciation for architecture but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times. This monochrome print beautifully captures every nuance and texture, transporting us straight into early 20th-century London. Thanks to Arthur St John Adcock's Wonderful London publication from which this illustration originates; we can relish in these historical gems preserved through time.
