EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of John Stow, a prominent English historian and antiquarian. Created by the talented artist George Vertue, this artwork captures the essence of Stow's intellectual prowess and profound contributions to London's history. The half-length portrait portrays Stow in a dignified manner, wearing an elaborate ruff that was fashionable during the Elizabethan era. His downcast eyes suggest deep contemplation and introspection. The image also features a tablet at the bottom, displaying the design for Stow's monument at the Church of St. Andrew, Undershaft—a testament to his enduring legacy. This engraving provides us with a glimpse into 16th-century England, showcasing not only Stow himself but also elements of Tudor fashion and culture. Preserved in a private collection, this remarkable artwork offers viewers an opportunity to connect with one of London's most esteemed historians from centuries past. As we admire this print, we are reminded of John Stow's invaluable writings that have provided invaluable insights into our city's rich heritage.
