EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Church of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate, situated in the heart of the City of London. Taken around 1890 and published in Sir Walter Besant's book "London - The City" in 1911, this image captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of this iconic English landmark. The church, first mentioned in records dating back to 1212, has withstood the test of time, surviving even the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666. Its resilience is evident as it stands proudly after being rebuilt between 1724 and 1729. The photograph provides a glimpse into life during that era, depicting a bustling street scene with horse-drawn carriages traversing along Bishopsgate Road. The architectural grandeur of St Botolph's spire dominates the skyline, symbolizing its importance as a place of worship for Christians throughout centuries. With its monochrome charm and intricate details captured by Pictorial Agency (not associated with any commercial use), this print transports viewers back to a bygone era when religion played an integral role in British society. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also highlights how architectural marvels like St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate continue to shape our urban landscape today.
