EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Gods Providence House in Chester, dating back to the 1920s. Steeped in fascinating tales from centuries past, this remarkable building stands as a testament to resilience and faith. Legend has it that during the devastating outbreak of the plague in the 17th century, not a single house in Chester was spared except for this very one on Watergate Street. Although reconstructed in 1862, it proudly carries a beam salvaged from its original structure bearing an inscription that reads "Gods Providence is Mine Inheritance". This powerful message serves as a constant reminder of divine protection amidst adversity. The cigarette card produced by Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd features this architectural gem as part of their second series showcasing British royal and ancient buildings. It captures both the grandeur and simplicity of Gods Providence House against its monochrome backdrop. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where belief in providence held great significance. The photo invites contemplation on themes such as religion, superstition, health, and our relationship with higher powers. It also offers us a glimpse into England's rich history while highlighting Cheshire's architectural treasures. Through this print captured by an unknown creator but preserved by The Print Collector5 at Heritage Images, we are reminded of humanity's enduring spirit even amidst times of darkness – just like Gods Providence House standing tall through centuries past.
