EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Monument to Lawyer Richard Martin in the Temple Church This image showcases the monument dedicated to Richard Martin, Recorder of London (1570-1618), located within the historic Temple Church in London. The monument, a testament to Martin's esteemed legal career, is depicted in this beautiful copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith. The original drawings for this piece were created by members of the Society of Antiquaries, adding an extra layer of historical significance to the artwork. The Temple Church, a prominent landmark in the City of London, is home to numerous monuments and memorials, including this one for Richard Martin. The church, which dates back to the late 12th century, is renowned for its unique round design and intricate architecture. It was once the principal place of worship for the Knights Templar and the Inner Temple, an elite legal society. The entrance to the Temple Church is seen in the background of the image, with its impressive archway and ornate carvings. The Leathersellers' Hall, another notable building in the Temple complex, can be glimpsed to the left. Unfortunately, the Leathersellers' Company, which occupied the Hall, had to be demolished in the late 19th century to make way for the present-day building. Richard Martin, the subject of this monument, was a prominent lawyer and politician during the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras. He served as Recorder of London from 1602 until his death in 1618. The intricately designed monument, featuring Martin's effigy in full armor, is a fitting tribute to his accomplishments and legacy. This image, created by John Thomas Smith from original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, offers a glimpse into London's rich history and architectural heritage. It is a reminder of the city's storied past and the important figures who shaped its development.
