EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Old Charing Cross, London in 1881. The image showcases the magnificent Eleanor Cross, a monument erected by King Edward I in the 13th century as a tribute to his beloved wife, Eleanor of Castile. Standing proudly at what is now known as Charing Cross Station, this replica replaced the original cross that was sadly demolished in 1647. The photograph captures the intricate architectural details of this medieval masterpiece, with its towering structure and ornate carvings reflecting the craftsmanship of centuries past. It serves as a poignant reminder of England's rich history and its deep-rooted connection to religion and monarchy. Published in "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" written by Edward Walford and published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. , this print offers a glimpse into an era long gone. The monochrome presentation adds an air of nostalgia to the scene while emphasizing the timeless beauty of this iconic landmark. As we admire this remarkable piece from our heritage collection today, it reminds us how architecture can transcend time itself – standing as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout history.
