EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from John Thomas Smith's Antiquities of London and its Environs published in 1791, depicts a pedlar and his loyal dog gazing out from the stained glass window of Saint Mary-at-Lambeth. The intricately designed window, with its vibrant colors and detailed bas-relief, frames the humble figure of the man in a 17th century doublet and breeches, his hat in hand, and his spade slung over his shoulder. The gardener, perhaps Mr. Holylands or one of the gardeners from the Lambeth stables, seems to be deep in thought as he leans against the garden wall. The pedlar, a common sight in the streets of London during this period, would have traveled from place to place selling small wares and trinkets. His faithful companion, a sturdy dog, sits obediently by his side. The scene is a charming reminder of the close relationship between people and their pets, even in the bustling city. The window itself is a testament to the rich history and architectural beauty of Saint Mary-at-Lambeth, a church that has stood since the 13th century. The intricate details of the stained glass, from the delicate flowers and leaves to the more substantial figures, are brought to life in this exquisite copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith, based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a man and his dog could be captured in the beauty of a stained glass window.
