EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lewisham, London in a bygone era. The engraving, created by Joseph Charles Barrow in 1790, showcases the architectural marvels and artistic beauty that defined this historical location. The focal point of the image is a magnificent stone church, standing tall and proud amidst its surroundings. Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship are a testament to the skill of architects during this period. The church's towering presence dominates the scene, drawing attention to its grandeur. Intriguingly, there are diggers working near the churchyard, hinting at ongoing construction or perhaps archaeological excavation. Their presence adds an element of mystery to the image as we wonder what secrets lie beneath their shovels. The gravestones scattered throughout the cemetery serve as poignant reminders of those who came before us. Each one tells a story - lives lived and memories cherished - etched into these weathered stones for eternity. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it transports us back to December 1st, 1790 when Barrow's work was first published. We can almost feel ourselves walking through Lewisham's streets alongside its inhabitants from centuries past. This print is not just an artwork; it is a window into another time – an invitation to explore and appreciate both architecture and artistry that have shaped our world today.
