EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1851, offering a glimpse into the past of St Bartholomews Chapel in Hackney, London. Once part of a leper hospital known as the Lock Hospital, this architectural gem stands tall amidst its surroundings. The image showcases the intricate details of its exterior design, highlighting the craftsmanship that went into creating this religious sanctuary. John Wykeham Archer's engraving captures not only the physical beauty of St Bartholomews Chapel but also provides insight into 19th-century England's relationship with religion and medicine. As an important center for health and healing during that time, this chapel played a crucial role in providing care for those afflicted by leprosy. The photograph transports us to Kingsland Road, where we can imagine ourselves walking along its avenue lined with buildings from that era. It is fascinating to see how architecture has evolved over time while still retaining elements of traditional British design. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of our country's rich heritage. The monochromatic color palette adds depth and character to the image, allowing us to appreciate every detail captured by Archer's lens. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of both scientific advancements in medicine and enduring faith found within Christianity. This print offers a window into another time – an opportunity to reflect on our roots and appreciate how far we have come as a society.
