EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1844, immersing us in the serene atmosphere of St. Giles's Church in Camberwell, South London. Stephen Sly, the talented creator behind this image, beautifully captures a moment during a church service at this newly built place of worship. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are drawn to the intricately carved font standing proudly in the foreground. The chancel is adorned with open stalls featuring exquisitely crafted poppy heads made of oak on each side. These architectural details reflect the Gothic Revival style that was prevalent during this era. The worshippers gathered here seem engrossed in their religious devotion as they occupy wooden pews throughout the interior. This snapshot offers a glimpse into Victorian society's deep connection with Christianity and their commitment to attending church services. Stephen Sly's engraving originally appeared in "Illustrated London News" adding historical significance to its artistic value. Through his lens, he transports us back to a time when religion played an integral role in people's lives and showcases how architecture and design were used to create sacred spaces for communal worship. This remarkable photograph print serves as a testament not only to Stephen Sly's skill but also as a window into 19th-century Britain and its rich cultural heritage.
