The image showcases the iconic Saint Martins in the Bull Ring church standing proudly amidst a vibrant city street. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobbled streets and pedestrians strolled along shopfronts. The composition captures both male and female figures going about their daily lives, creating a sense of community within this European metropolis. Their presence adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the diverse range of individuals that called Birmingham home during this period. The architectural details are meticulously engraved by A B Johnson, showcasing his artistic talent and attention to detail. This fine art piece allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of St Martin's but also the surrounding buildings that contribute to Birmingham's rich history.
