EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing artwork titled "Gog and Magog with a barrel" by artist Ebenezer Landells. Created in 1840, this woodcut depicts the mythical giants Gog and Magog, whose statues can be found inside the historic Guildhall in the City of London. The image showcases two towering figures standing proudly beside a large barrel. The intricate details of their features are brought to life through the monochrome medium, highlighting their imposing presence. Gog and Magog have long been associated with British folklore and mythology, representing ancient forces that protect the country. The composition is attributed to Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz, who collaborated with Landells on this piece. Their artistic partnership successfully brings out both the grandeur and mystery surrounding these legendary creatures. Displayed within the Guildhall Library Art Gallery, this artwork serves as a reminder of England's rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to delve into centuries-old tales while appreciating Landells' skillful woodcut technique. This historical photograph provides an opportunity for us to admire not only Landells' artistry but also explore our fascination with mythical beasts from centuries past.
