EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient monument of a bishop, situated under the southeast window of the magnificent 12th century Temple Church in London. The image, captured by John Thomas Smith and engraved on copperplate, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this iconic landmark. The bishop's grave effigy stands as a testament to the religious significance that permeated through England during the medieval period. Adorned in intricate details, it serves as a reminder of the devotion and piety exhibited by members of religious orders such as priests, monks, and knights. The Temple Church itself holds great historical importance, being associated with renowned organizations like the Knights Templar. As part of their order known as "Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" these knights played a significant role in shaping Europe's religious landscape. Smith's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his original drawings commissioned by members from the Society of Antiquaries. Through his engravings featured in "J. T. Smiths Antiquities of London and its Environs" he immortalizes not only this remarkable monument but also captures snippets from London's past. This print transports viewers back to an era where religion held immense power and influence over society. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery displayed within this ancient monument and its profound historical context within London's vibrant heritage.
