EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Pye Corner, Smithfield (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century in London. The image showcases a remarkable memorial dedicated to the Great Fire of London, standing proudly at Pye Corner in Smithfield. Crafted by an English School artist, this engraving captures both the historical significance and artistic beauty of this monument. The inscription on the memorial reads, "This Boy is in memory put up for the late Fire of London Occasioned by the Sin of Gluttony". This powerful statement reminds us that it was believed that excessive indulgence and gluttony were responsible for triggering one of history's most devastating fires. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when tragedy and resilience coexisted. The intricate details carved into the sculpture speak volumes about the craftsmanship and dedication involved in creating such a poignant tribute. Through its composition and subject matter, this photograph invites us to reflect on our own actions and their consequences. It serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, there is always room for growth and remembrance. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic merit. It stands as a testament to human resilience while serving as an enduring symbol of hope amidst adversity.
