EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, during the English Civil Wars. The image showcases St Pancras Old Church in London, with a fascinating view of the fortifications at the Brill. In the foreground, two figures on horseback steal our attention as they ride through this historic landscape. Meanwhile, in the background, infantry soldiers engage in a drill while several artillery pieces stand ready for action. The etching beautifully captures both the architectural grandeur of St Pancras Old Church and the military presence during this turbulent period in British history. The church's steeple stands tall against the sky, symbolizing faith amidst conflict. This scene serves as a reminder of how religion played a significant role during times of war. Although anonymous, this artwork from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about life centuries ago. It transports us to an era where horses were essential companions for men engaged in battle or simply traversing their country. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded not only of London's rich heritage but also of humanity's enduring spirit throughout history. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past that help shape our present understanding and appreciation for those who came before us.
