EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable stone relief that once adorned Newgate Street in the City of London. Dating back to 1820, this intricate artwork is an anonymous masterpiece from the 17th century. The relief itself, created in 1688, portrays a naked bakers boy seated on a pannier. It serves as a commemoration for the Panyer Boy Inn, which tragically burned down during the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666. The image showcases the rich history and artistic brilliance of Britain's past. With its detailed craftsmanship and delicate features, it transports viewers back to a time when such reliefs were common sights along city streets. This particular piece can be found at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. The photograph beautifully captures not only the sculpture but also its surroundings on Newgate Street - an avenue filled with stunning buildings that have stood tall since centuries ago. The street was bustling with activity as children played nearby while passersby admired this exquisite work of art. With its monochrome color palette, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for England's vibrant past. It reminds us of significant events like the Great Fire of London and highlights how art has always been intertwined with historical events throughout our country's long-standing heritage.
