EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of St. Martins Lane in Westminster, London, circa 1820. The unknown creator skillfully captures a vibrant street scene, showcasing the architectural beauty of this historic area before it was transformed into Trafalgar Square. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent church of St Martin in the Fields, its elegant spire reaching towards the sky. This iconic landmark stands tall amidst a backdrop of charming buildings that line both sides of the avenue. As we delve into this snapshot from Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places by Edward Walford, we are transported to a bygone era filled with nostalgia. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness to this 19th-century view. It's fascinating to witness how much has changed over time while still recognizing elements that remain familiar today. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also highlights the importance placed on religion and Christianity within society during this period.
