EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith in 1793, depicts the Monument to Richard Fishbourne Mercer, a prominent figure in 17th century London. The monument is located in the Ambulatory of Mercers' Chapel, situated in Cheapside. Mercer, who passed away in 1625, was a renowned naturalist and collector, whose extensive collection of curiosities was later acquired by the famous horticulturists, the Tradescants, John Tradescant the Elder and his son, John Tradescant the Younger.

The intricate architectural details of the monument, including the ornate columns, friezes, and pediments, are beautifully captured in the engraving. The monument's location in St. Mary at Lambeth Churchyard adds to its historical significance. This engraving is a reproduction of original drawings made by members of the Society of Antiquaries.
