EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting sight of a curious pump nestled in the yard of Leathersellers Hall, located on Bishopsgate Street in London. With its rich history dating back to the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I or James I, this pump holds an air of mystery and intrigue. The image showcases a mermaid fountain that once graced this spot, delighting visitors by playfully dispensing wine from her breasts during festivals. The copperplate engraving beautifully depicts this mythical creature, highlighting the intricate details and artistry involved. As we delve into the past through John Thomas Smith's Antiquities of London and its Environs, we are transported to a time when pagan mythology held sway over people's imaginations. This wonderful character adds another layer to the already fascinating architecture found throughout London. The juxtaposition between reality and fantasy is striking as we contemplate how such monstrous characters were woven into everyday life centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' belief systems and their connection to polytheistic religions.
