St. John Gate, the Oldest House in Stepney: A Curious Sight of History and Architecture This image, a copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith, showcases St. John Gate, the oldest house in the historic district of Stepney, London. The gate, adorned with intricate variegated brickwork, stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural charm of England's past. The gate's name is derived from its proximity to the ancient St. John's Church, which once stood nearby. The engraving reveals a curious sight of the gate's entrance, guarded by a statue of King James II, dressed in the regal attire of a Roman emperor. The king, depicted with a breastplate and mantle, holds a laurel wreath in one hand and a scepter in the other, symbolizing his power and authority. The statue, created by the skilled hands of an unknown artist, is believed to have been added to the gate in the late 17th century, during James II's reign. The gate's Roman-inspired design, with its classical elements and ornate sculptures, reflects the king's admiration for ancient Rome and his desire to emulate its grandeur. The engraving also reveals a glimpse of the gate's privy gardens, where one can imagine the residents of St. John Gate enjoying the serenity and beauty of their surroundings. The image, drawn from original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and elegance. This fascinating piece of history, captured through the art of copperplate engraving, is a reminder of the rich tapestry of stories and traditions that make up the history of London and its environs.
