EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of London in the mid-18th century. The image showcases the old London Bridge, a magnificent structure that stood proudly over the River Thames. However, it is not just the bridge that catches our attention; it is also an interior view of St Thomas Chapel, which was built on the central pier of this iconic landmark. The chapel's grandeur and religious significance are evident as we gaze upon its colorful walls and beautifully crafted windows. Christianity played a vital role in shaping society during this period, and St Thomas Chapel served as a spiritual sanctuary for many Londoners. As we explore further into this corridor-like space, we can almost feel the history seeping through every corner. The anonymous artist who captured this scene with watercolors has skillfully depicted both the architectural details and ambiance of this sacred place. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate not only London's rich heritage but also how religion intertwined with daily life centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' devotion and offers us an opportunity to reflect on their experiences within these hallowed walls.
