EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, allowing us a glimpse into the interior of the chapel at Emanuel Hospital almshouses in Buckingham Gate, Westminster, London. The almshouses and this institution were established through the will of Anne Fiennes, Lady Dacre, in 1594. Steeped in history and rich with religious significance, this image transports us to a bygone era. The colorized watercolor brings out the intricate details of this Elizabethan-era chapel. The vibrant hues highlight the beauty of its architecture and emphasize its importance as a place of worship for those seeking solace and charity during that time. As we explore every corner of this sacred space captured by John Crowther's lens, our eyes are drawn to the lectern standing proudly at its center. This symbolizes not only devotion but also education - an integral part of Christian teachings. Located within City of Westminster in London, England, these almshouses served as a sanctuary for those less fortunate throughout centuries past. This photograph serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and reminds us all about the power of compassion and giving. Thanks to Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from our history. It is an invaluable reminder that even amidst changing times, faith remains constant – bridging gaps between generations while inspiring hope for future ones.
