EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jules Louis Arnout, titled "Montage of images with St Pauls, c1855" offers a unique composition that transports viewers to the bustling cityscape of 19th century London. The foreground features a quay adorned with an anchor and a beautifully carved tablet, adding an element of intrigue to the scene. As our eyes move further into the image, billowing smoke from a steamboat catches our attention, creating a sense of movement and energy. Dominating the backdrop is the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral, its grandeur juxtaposed against the industrial source nearby emitting more smoke. This contrast highlights both the beauty and challenges faced by cities during this period of rapid urbanization. Beyond St Paul's Cathedral lies breathtaking mountain ranges, their peaks crowned with citadels that hint at history and fortification. This unexpected combination adds an air of surrealism to the composition. Arnout skillfully captures not only architectural elements but also conveys broader themes such as religion, transportation, pollution, and industry in this watercolor lithograph montage. The use of color enhances these concepts while maintaining a sense of harmony throughout. Preserved in time by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork allows us to glimpse into London's past - a vibrant city where tradition meets progress. It serves as a reminder that even amidst change and growth, there is always room for reflection on our environment and heritage.
