EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Church of St Benet, Gracechurch-Street, about to be demolished" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in London's architectural history. Created by Frank Watkins, a talented artist from the late 19th century, this print captures the impending fate of the Church of St Benet. The scene is filled with melancholy as we observe the grandeur and beauty of this historic place of worship standing tall amidst its bustling surroundings. The intricate details etched into every corner of the church are a testament to the craftsmanship and devotion that went into its creation. Yet, despite its undeniable charm and cultural significance, progress demands change. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we can almost feel the weighty atmosphere surrounding the imminent demolition. It serves as a poignant reminder that even our most cherished landmarks are not immune to transformation. Published in The Illustrated London News on February 23rd, 1867, this engraving offers us an invaluable glimpse into London's past. Preserved within private collections for generations before finding its way into Bridgeman Images' archives, it now allows us to reflect upon both loss and growth. Let this print transport you back centuries ago when architecture held stories within its walls and streets were witnesses to constant evolution. May it inspire appreciation for our heritage while reminding us that change is an inevitable part of life's tapestry.
