EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Remains of the London Wall in St. Giles, Cripplegate: A Glimpse into Roman London's Past" This evocative copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith in 1800, captures the intriguing remains of the Roman London Wall hidden in the churchyard of St. Giles, Cripplegate. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into London's rich history, revealing the enduring legacy of the ancient Roman city walls that once protected this bustling metropolis. The engraving showcases the crumbling sections of the wall, which have been incorporated into the fabric of Craven House and the surrounding buildings. Drury Lane can be seen in the background, providing a sense of scale and context to the image. The wall's weathered stones, some adorned with intricate carvings, bear testament to the passage of time and the many layers of history that have shaped this site. The London Wall, a significant archaeological feature, was originally built during the late 3rd century AD to defend the Roman city from external threats. Over the centuries, the wall has undergone numerous transformations, with various additions and modifications made during the medieval and early modern periods. The presence of the London Wall in St. Giles, Cripplegate, was particularly noteworthy during the 17th century, when the area was known for its vibrant community of artisans and traders. Notable residents included William, 1st Earl of Craven, Princess Elizabeth of Bohemia, and her companion, the Countess of Rutland, who was famously known as "Mistress of the Robes" to Queen Henrietta Maria. This engraving, produced by John Thomas Smith from original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, offers a unique perspective on the history and architecture of London, inviting us to explore the stories that lie hidden within its enduring walls.
