EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Old Kensington Church, dating back to around 1750. The image, taken in approximately 1876, showcases the church before it was replaced by a building designed by Sir Gilbert Scott. The photograph is part of "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" written by Edward Walford. The picture depicts a scene from the past with its monochrome aesthetic. In the foreground, an elegant Georgian-style building stands tall against the sky. Flags flutter on top of its facade while a horse-drawn haycart passes by in front of it. Pedestrians can be seen walking along the entrance to the church, adding life to this historic snapshot. This image offers us a glimpse into eighteenth-century England and its rich architectural heritage. It transports us back in time when horses were still used as means of transportation and flags proudly adorned buildings like this one. As we admire this piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of how cities evolve over centuries but also retain fragments of their past within their modern landscapes. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in designing grand structures like churches and our desire to preserve historical landmarks for generations to come.
