EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1778, capturing a chilling scene that unfolded within the hallowed walls of St Mary Aldermanbury in London. The image depicts the infamous theft of WT Aston's leaden coffin from the church vault, orchestrated by three audacious individuals - George Roach, Robert Elliott, and James Gould. The atmosphere is shrouded in darkness as candles flicker ominously around the burial site. This haunting visual serves as a stark reminder of both mortality and human greed during this eighteenth-century era. St Mary Aldermanbury stands tall amidst the bustling City of London, representing centuries-old Christianity and religious devotion. However, on this fateful night, it became an unwitting accomplice to crime. The engraving captures not only a physical act but also symbolizes deeper concepts such as lawlessness and moral transgressions. The anonymity surrounding this artwork adds an air of mystery to its historical significance. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery archives, it continues to intrigue viewers with its monochrome portrayal of illicit activities committed under cover of darkness. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how religion intersects with criminality in unexpected ways. It serves as a poignant reminder that even sacred spaces can fall victim to human vices like theft and deceit.
