1. Title: "An Ancient Monument of a Bishop in Temple Church, London: An Exquisite 12th-Century Effigy of Nicholas Throgmorton" This print, an exquisite example of 19th-century craftsmanship, showcases the ancient monument of a bishop located under the southeast window of the Temple Church in London. The Temple Church, a 12th-century architectural masterpiece, is renowned for its unique round design and rich history. The focal point of this print is the magnificent effigy of Sir Nicholas Throgmorton, a bishop who held significant positions in England during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Throgmorton served as Chief Butler of England under King Henry VII and was later appointed Bishop of Bath and Wells in 1504. He is also known for his association with St. Catherine's Priory in Aldgate and his role in the foundation of Katherine's Hospital in Cree Churchyard. The intricately detailed effigy, depicted in this print, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the time. The copperplate engraving, produced by John Thomas Smith, is based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries. Smith's Antiquities of London and its Environs, published in 1800, offers a valuable record of historical and architectural details, including this ancient monument of Bishop Nicholas Throgmorton. The print provides a glimpse into the rich history of London, showcasing the intricate details of the bishop's effigy and the architectural beauty of the Temple Church. The image invites us to explore the stories of the past, as we delve deeper into the lives of those who shaped the history of England.
