EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient silver parish seal of St Mary-le-Bow, depicted in this 19th century print, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of Bow Church in London before the Great Fire of 1666. The seal, which is held in the collections of Mary Evans Picture Library, bears the image of the church's iconic tower, a testament to its historical significance. St Mary-le-Bow, also known as Bow Church, holds an important place in London's history. The church, located in the heart of the East End, is renowned for its distinctive bell, which tradition holds, granted the right of freeman of the City of London to those born within its sound. The church's proximity to the River Thames and the bustling markets of the area made it a popular destination for merchants and traders. The seal's intricate design showcases the church's tower in all its glory, with its elegant arches, intricate carvings, and tall spire. The seal's silver surface adds an air of grandeur and importance to the image, reflecting the church's status as a vital part of the community. The Great Fire of London, which ravaged the city in 1666, unfortunately destroyed many historical records, including the original records of St Mary-le-Bow's seal. This 19th century print, therefore, serves as an essential reminder of the church's ancient heritage and the beauty of its pre-Fire tower. The seal's intricate design and historical significance continue to captivate historians, architects, and visitors alike, making it a valuable addition to any collection of London's history.
