London Stone, Cannon Street, London, c1770: A Glimpse into Jack Cade's Rebellion". This print takes us back to the year 1450, during one of the most significant uprisings in London's history. The scene depicts Jack Cade boldly declaring himself Lord of the City of London at the iconic London Stone on Cannon Street. Engraved with meticulous detail in 1770 by an anonymous artist, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment that shaped England. The setting is reminiscent of an ancient Roman avenue, lined with historic buildings and bustling with activity. Men clad in armor and armed for warfare fill the street as they rally behind their charismatic leader, Jack Cade. His commanding presence dominates the frame as he stands atop a makeshift podium near London Stone – a symbol of authority and power. This engraving not only captures a specific event but also encapsulates the spirit of rebellion against oppressive rule. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, individuals have risen up to challenge injustice and fight for their rights. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this remarkable piece provides valuable insights into both archaeology and eighteenth-century artistic techniques. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era where personalities clashed on these very streets—where war met ideology—and where ordinary people dared to defy convention for freedom.
