EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South Door of the Church of St. Mary Aldermanbury in London, taken around 1935 by Walter Benington. The church, originally built in the 17th century by Christopher Wren after being destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, stands as a testament to British architectural brilliance. The Love Lane entrance depicted here exudes an air of grandeur and history. The intricate details carved into the Portland stone doorframe are awe-inspiring, reflecting the craftsmanship of Sir Christopher Wren himself. As you gaze at this image, you can't help but marvel at how time has weathered its facade. Surrounded by lush trees and plants that add a touch of natural beauty to its surroundings, this historic church stands tall amidst bustling city streets. Its presence is a reminder of London's rich religious heritage and its enduring commitment to Christianity.
