EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1920s. The focal point of the image is the magnificent spire of Bow Church, a masterpiece designed by the renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren. Standing tall against the city skyline, this seventeenth-century marvel serves as a testament to both British history and architectural brilliance. The church itself, named St Mary le Bow, was constructed between 1671 and 1673 after its predecessor fell victim to the devastating Great Fire of London. Its elegant design showcases Wren's expertise in blending classical elements with innovative techniques. Captured from an exterior perspective on Cheapside Street, this photogravure allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of Bow Church but also its harmonious integration into the surrounding urban landscape. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of history. Published in Arthur St John Adcock's Wonderful London series, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by progress and change. It encapsulates both religious significance and architectural achievement while inviting contemplation about how these structures shape our cities' identities. McLeish's skillful composition captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to admire Sir Christopher Wren's genius through his lens. This print stands as a tribute not only to these talented individuals but also to London itself—a city that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity for centuries on end.
