EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, created by the talented artist George Scharf in 1830, transports us back to a bustling era in London's history. The image showcases Borough High Street in Southwark, with the magnificent Southwark Cathedral standing proudly in the background. In the foreground, we witness construction work taking place, providing a glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of this vibrant city. The monochrome tones lend an air of nostalgia to this nineteenth-century scene, capturing both the architectural beauty and religious significance of Southwark Cathedral. Its towering spires reach towards the heavens as if beckoning worshippers from far and wide. As we explore every intricate detail of this print, our eyes are drawn to Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection where it resides today. This artwork serves as a testament to Scharf's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to immortalize London's rich heritage through his art. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper narrative - one that speaks of faith and devotion ingrained within Christianity during this period. The presence of construction work hints at progress and growth while reminding us that even sacred spaces must adapt with changing times. Let this print transport you back two centuries ago when Borough High Street was alive with activity; let it serve as a reminder that amidst constant change, some landmarks remain steadfast symbols of tradition and spirituality.
