EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dating back to the late 18th century, offers a captivating glimpse into the history of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, an iconic church located in the heart of London, England. The image, captured from the Mews, showcases the church's stunning architectural beauty and serene surroundings before the hustle and bustle of modern city life took hold. St. Martin-in-the-Fields, established in 1222, has a rich history that spans over eight centuries. Originally built as a chapel of ease, it was later expanded into a parish church and became a significant religious and cultural landmark in London. The church's design, a blend of Gothic and Classical elements, is a testament to the architectural evolution of the city. The late 18th century was a period of great change for St. Martin-in-the-Fields. In 1726, the church underwent a major restoration under the supervision of James Gibbs, a renowned British architect. Gibbs' work transformed the church's exterior, giving it the distinctive appearance seen in this print. The peaceful scene depicted in the print contrasts sharply with the bustling city that surrounds St. Martin-in-the-Fields today. The tranquil Mews, with its quaint houses and horse-drawn carriages, provides a striking backdrop to the church. This print serves as a reminder of the historical significance of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and the unique charm of London during the late 18th century.
