EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the bustling cityscape of 1930s London. The image, captured by Walter Benington, showcases the serene Churchyard of St Katherine Coleman in Aldgate Ward, City of London. Amidst the chaos and noise of the metropolis, this hidden gem offers a peaceful sanctuary for weary souls seeking solace. The monochrome composition beautifully contrasts with the vibrant greenery surrounding a solitary park bench. It invites viewers to imagine themselves taking refuge from the fast-paced urban life on this tranquil seat. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of Arthur St John Adcock's words from his publication "Wonderful London": there exists an oasis within our concrete jungle where one can find respite and reconnect with their spirituality. The church standing tall in the background serves as a symbol of faith and Christianity amidst an ever-changing world. The presence of trees and plants further enhances the sense of tranquility emanating from this sacred space. Walter Benington's skillful capture not only documents a specific moment but also evokes emotions within us - a longing for peace amid chaos, an appreciation for nature's ability to provide solace even in urban environments. This print serves as both a historical artifact capturing 20th-century Britain and as an invitation to pause amidst our own busy lives and seek moments of quiet reflection.
