EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of St Bartholomew The Great Church, nestled in the heart of West Smithfield, Greater London. As our eyes wander through this remarkable pencil drawing by Charles Bannerman Phillips, dated 1914, we are immediately drawn to the tomb of Rahere - a figure shrouded in history and significance. The church itself stands as a testament to centuries gone by, its architectural splendor evident even in this black-and-white illustration. The intricate details that adorn every corner of the building speak volumes about the craftsmanship and dedication put into its creation. But it is Rahere's tomb that truly steals the spotlight within this composition. With an air of solemnity and reverence surrounding it, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe at being able to witness such an important piece of history frozen in time. It serves as a reminder not only of Rahere's legacy as the first prior but also as a symbol for all those who have come before us. Charles Bannerman Phillips has masterfully captured both the physical beauty and historical significance within this sketch. Through his skillful strokes, he transports us back to an era long past yet still alive within these walls. This print from Historic England allows us to appreciate and cherish our heritage while reminding us that there is always more waiting to be discovered just beyond our doorstep.
