EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copperplate engraving captures the historic Kitchen of Leathersellers Hall in London, a building that was sadly demolished in 1799. The intricate details of the kitchen, with its arches, statues, and windows, showcase the craftsmanship and grandeur of this 12th-century guild hall.
Originally built in 1440, the Leathersellers Hall was not only a place for cooking but also served as a chapel for members of the guild. The door and gate depicted in this print give us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine what life was like within these walls centuries ago.
The artist behind this engraving, John Thomas Smith, worked from original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries to create an accurate representation of this historical site. His attention to detail brings out the beauty and significance of this architectural gem.
As we admire this piece of history preserved on paper, we are reminded of the rich heritage and legacy left behind by those who came before us. The Kitchen of Leathersellers Hall may no longer stand today, but through prints like these, we can continue to appreciate its beauty and importance in London's history.
