EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Christ Church, Blackfriars in Southwark, London during the 19th century. The artist, R Acon, skillfully captures the architectural beauty of this Italian Romanesque style church that was built in the 1740s. The image depicts a towering church with its prominent clock tower standing tall against the backdrop of an English sky. Its exterior exudes a sense of strength and resilience despite having been badly damaged during the Blitz in 1941. As we gaze at this monochrome engraving by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, we are transported back to a time when religion played a significant role in British society. This print not only represents a physical structure but also symbolizes Christianity's enduring presence within the country. Located in bustling London, Christ Church stands as a testament to both faith and history. It serves as a reminder of how buildings can withstand adversity and be rebuilt even stronger than before. While this particular version of Christ Church was replaced by a new one in 1958, it remains an important part of England's religious heritage. Through this photograph, R Acon captures not just bricks and mortar but also evokes emotions tied to spirituality and national identity. It is an exquisite piece that allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind its creation and its significance within British culture.
