EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Walsall Town - North West View" takes us back in time to the late 18th century. Created around 1798 by Stebbing Shaw, an esteemed engraver of his era, this historic artwork offers a glimpse into the past. The scene depicted showcases Walsall town from its northwestern perspective. The focal point is undoubtedly the prominent church situated atop a hill, adorned with a majestic spire that reaches for the sky. Surrounding it are tightly packed houses, giving us a sense of how densely populated the area was during that period. As our eyes wander towards the foreground of the image, we notice vast fields stretching out before us. This serves as a reminder of how much Walsall has transformed over time – from open countryside to an urban landscape bustling with life. The inscription on this print reveals that it was dedicated to the Mayor and Corporation by S. Shaw himself as an expression of gratitude and respect. Preserved within The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK, this piece holds immense historical significance for both art enthusiasts and local historians alike. With its intricate details capturing architectural elements such as chapels and churches dotting Walsall's skyline, this print transports us back to an era long gone but not forgotten. It allows us to appreciate how far we have come while also reflecting on our rich heritage rooted in these very streets.
