EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1723, showcasing the majestic St Bartholomews Hospital in Smithfield, City of London. Founded nearly six centuries earlier in 1123 by Rahere, the Prior of St Bartholomews Priory, this historic institution was born from a divine vision of the saint himself. Today, it continues to serve as a beacon of hope and healing. The photograph captures the hospital's impressive exterior architecture with remarkable detail. The anonymous artist skillfully engraved every intricate feature, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur even after all these years. This monochrome masterpiece transports us to a time when medicine and science were rapidly advancing. Located within the bustling heart of Britain's capital city, this eighteenth-century gem stands tall as a testament to England's rich history and cultural heritage. Its significance extends far beyond mere bricks and mortar; it represents compassion, resilience, and progress in healthcare. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for future generations to admire, this image serves as a reminder that St Bartholomews Hospital has stood strong for almost nine centuries. It is not just an architectural marvel but also an enduring symbol of humanity's unwavering commitment to caring for one another.
