EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the south-east view of the Church of St Michael, Crooked Lane in the City of London, dating back to 1830. The artist skillfully portrays a significant moment in history as figures can be seen demolishing the vestry in the foreground, making way for the approach to the new London Bridge. The image showcases remarkable 19th-century architecture and offers a glimpse into Britain's rich cultural heritage. The church tower stands tall amidst its surroundings, symbolizing Christian faith and spirituality within this bustling cityscape. Located on Crooked Lane, this historic site holds great importance to England's religious landscape. The engraving beautifully depicts an exterior scene that exudes both grandeur and simplicity simultaneously. Intriguingly monochrome, this photograph transports viewers back in time to witness workmen diligently carrying out their profession with determination and purpose. Their occupation reflects not only their commitment but also highlights how religion played an integral role in shaping society during this era. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artistic masterpiece by John Wells serves as a testament to his talent as well as an invaluable historical record. It invites us to contemplate our country's past while appreciating the craftsmanship that went into constructing such magnificent buildings.
