EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Garlick Hill in the heart of City of London, circa 1882. The talented artist John Crowther skillfully captures the essence of this historic location, offering a glimpse into its rich architectural heritage and religious significance. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn towards Upper Thames Street, with the majestic tower of St James Garlickhythe standing proudly in the distance. This seventeenth-century church tower serves as a testament to Britain's deep-rooted Christian traditions and Sir Christopher Wren's remarkable architectural prowess. The buildings lining Garlick Hill showcase a harmonious blend of nineteenth-century charm and timeless elegance. Each structure tells its own story, reflecting England's cultural tapestry through their distinct designs and historical relevance. It is fascinating to observe how these buildings have stood the test of time, serving as witnesses to centuries' worth of events that shaped both city life and national identity. This watercolour print from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery allows us to step outside our present reality and immerse ourselves in an era long gone. It transports us to a bygone age when horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobbled lanes, echoing with sounds that now only exist within our imagination. Let this evocative image serve as a reminder not just of our past but also as an inspiration for preserving our built heritage for future generations.
