EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Cloth Fair, London in 1884. Renowned artist John Crowther skillfully captures the essence of this historic location from a unique perspective - the back view. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent Gothic window that offers a glimpse into the ambulatory of St Bartholomews Priory. The scene is further enriched by the presence of almshouses on the left side, reminding us of their charitable purpose during this era. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to each building along this bustling avenue, showcasing an architectural marvel that stood tall for centuries. Stepping into this photograph feels like stepping into history itself. We can almost hear echoes of footsteps echoing through time as people pass through the entrance gate and wander down this ancient lane. It serves as a poignant reminder of London's rich Christian heritage and its deep-rooted connection with religion. As we admire Crowther's watercolor masterpiece, it becomes evident why his work is treasured within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when Cloth Fair was at its prime, capturing not only its physical beauty but also encapsulating an entire century's worth of stories within its frame.
