EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the South East Prospect of St. Peter le Poer in Broad Street, London, as it appeared in 1756. Painted by Benjamin Cole, this architectural masterpiece showcases the beauty and grandeur of the church before its unfortunate demolition in 1907. St. Peter le Poer was originally rebuilt in 1540 and underwent repairs and expansions between 1615 and 1630. Despite surviving the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666, it eventually met its demise over three centuries later. The image depicts a stunning avenue leading up to the church's entrance, with its belfry standing tall against the skyline. The clock on the tower serves as a reminder of time passing by within this religious sanctuary. As we gaze upon this monochrome engraving, we are transported back to eighteenth-century England—a country steeped in Christian traditions and rich history. The surrounding buildings along Broad Street add depth to this outdoor landscape while also showcasing London's bustling cityscape during that era. This print is not just an artistic representation; it holds immense historical significance for those interested in British architecture and heritage preservation. It allows us to appreciate both Benjamin Cole's talent as an artist and St. Peter le Poer's magnificence before its untimely fate.
