EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent North-west view of the Jewel Tower, located in Old Palace Yard, Westminster, London. The artist skillfully captured the essence of this historic structure that dates back to the 14th century. Standing proudly alongside Westminster Hall, it is one of the few remaining remnants of the medieval Palace of Westminster. Built around 1365 under King Edward III's reign, the Jewel Tower served as a secure repository for his precious treasures. Its grandeur and architectural beauty are evident in this etching from renowned artist John Thomas Smith. The monochrome palette adds an air of timelessness to this stunning piece. The image transports us back to a bygone era when politics and power were intertwined within these walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable building surrounded by nature's greenery, we can't help but imagine the countless stories it holds within its ancient stones. Now preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print serves as a testament to London's rich history and enduring legacy. It reminds us that even amidst modernity's hustle and bustle, fragments from centuries past continue to shape our present landscape.
