EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith in 1793, depicts the Monument to Robert Dow, a merchant tailor and philanthropist, located in St. Botolph's-without-Bishopsgate in the heart of London. The monument, erected in memory of Dow after his death in 1612 at the age of 89, is a poignant reminder of London's rich history and its inhabitants' past. Dow is depicted in the image, standing atop a corner of Smithfield Market, holding a skull in one hand and a pudding in the other. The skull symbolizes the inevitability of death, while the pudding, a traditional English dish, may represent the sin of gluttony or simply a reminder of the pleasures of life. The inscription on the monument reads, "Occasional Sin, not the late occasion'd, but the frequent, is the greatest Enemy to a long and happy Life." The Monument to Robert Dow is a unique example of London's architectural and historical heritage, and this engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image was created based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, and it is a testament to the importance of preserving the city's history for future generations. The scene is further enhanced by the inclusion of the iconic Boy and Pudding Lane fire in the background, a reminder of the Great Fire of London in 1666, which destroyed much of the city. Despite the destruction, London continued to thrive, and monuments like the Monument to Robert Dow serve as reminders of the city's resilience and enduring spirit.
