EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Reception of Monk in the City of London" takes us back to 17th century England, capturing a significant historical moment. The image showcases the arrival of a monk in the bustling streets of London, surrounded by curious onlookers and city dwellers. The artist from the English School brilliantly portrays the scene with intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship. Every figure is carefully etched, each expression conveying a different emotion - anticipation, awe, and curiosity. The composition draws our attention to the central figure of the monk as he is greeted by an enthusiastic crowd. This print originates from Cassells History of England (special edition) published around 1890 by A. W Cowan. It offers us a glimpse into this particular event that shaped London's history but also serves as a testament to how art can immortalize important moments for future generations. The digital cleaning process has restored this artwork's original charm while preserving its authenticity. Now part of a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the reception given to this mysterious monk amidst the vibrant streetscape of old London.
