EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Church of St Swithin and the iconic London Stone in Cannon Street, City of London, circa 1830. Painted by J Tingle and Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, this remarkable piece showcases a significant historical landmark that has withstood the test of time. The London Stone, an ancient oolite stone embedded in the wall of St Swithins Church, holds great significance as it was believed to be the reference point from which all distances in Britannia were measured by Romans. Despite enduring countless centuries, this sacred stone miraculously survived a devastating German bombing raid during World War II while its surrounding church succumbed to destruction. In this monochrome masterpiece, we witness a bustling street scene filled with horse-drawn carriages and people going about their daily lives. The architectural grandeur of St Swithin's Church stands tall amidst other buildings along Cannon Street. Its clock tower proudly displays the passage of time as if preserving history itself. This photograph not only serves as a visual testament to Britain's rich heritage but also evokes a sense of awe for those who appreciate religious landmarks intertwined with historical significance. It transports us back to an era where religion played an integral role in society and invites us to ponder upon our own connection with spirituality within our modern world.
