EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir John Crosby's monument, located in the church of St. Helen, Bishopsgate, is a striking example of late medieval funerary art in the heart of London. Sir John Crosby, who died in 1476, was a prominent figure in the city as a Mercer and Sheriff of London. His effigy, depicted in this beautiful copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith, shows him wearing the robes of the Mercer's Company and holding a fish, symbolizing his role as a fishmonger. The monument is situated in the ambulatory, or the outer walkway around the church, near the Mercer's Chapel in Cheapside. The church of St. Helen, Bishopsgate, is one of the oldest in the City of London, with its origins dating back to the 12th century. The church underwent significant restoration in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, during which time this monument was likely discovered and recorded. The engraving is based on original drawings made by members of the Society of Antiquaries, an organization dedicated to the study and preservation of the history and archaeology of London and its environs. The society, founded in 1707, played a crucial role in documenting and preserving the city's rich history and architectural heritage. This magnificent monument to Sir John Crosby not only provides a glimpse into the life of a prominent London merchant and civic leader but also highlights the importance of the Mercer's Company in the city's history. The intricate details of the effigy, from the folds of Sir John's robes to the realistic rendering of the fish, make this a truly captivating piece of historical art.
