EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Memorial to Edmund Plowden, Treasurer of the Middle Temple, located in the historic Temple Church in the City of London. The memorial dates back to 1794 and showcases a figure depicted in a long gown, lying down with hands clasped together in prayer across his chest. The image highlights the intricate details of this 16th-century monument, which is situated on the north wall of the church. Its anonymous creator skillfully captured both the religious significance and professional stature of Edmund Plowden. As an important figure within the legal community as well as a knight, Plowden's effigy symbolizes his dedication to Christianity and his esteemed position within society. The photograph was taken inside Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, providing viewers with an up-close look at this remarkable piece of English architecture from centuries past. The monochrome effect adds depth and timelessness to this portrait-like depiction. By preserving this moment through photography, we are able to appreciate not only Plowden's contribution but also gain insight into Tudor-era England. This image serves as a testament to our rich heritage while reminding us of those who have come before us in shaping our country's history.
