EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1797, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Temple Bar in the City of London. The image showcases the west view of this iconic structure, although it is worth noting that it actually depicts the Westminster side. Constructed by the renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren in 1672, this incarnation of Temple Bar served as a gate between the Cities of London and Westminster. Standing tall with its impressive architecture and intricate details, it was truly a sight to behold. However, progress often demands sacrifice, and sadly Temple Bar met its fate in 1878 when it was dismantled to make way for road widening. Fortunately, much of its original stonework was preserved and used for a reconstruction project at Paternoster Square. The coloured engraving featured in this print beautifully captures all these historical elements. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also how cities evolve over time. Thanks to Historic England Photo Library's meticulous preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this stunning piece from their Mayson Beeton Collection. This photograph allows us to travel back through history and witness firsthand one of London's most significant landmarks - Temple Bar - frozen forever in time.
