EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Giles, Cripplegate, London (circa 1865) is a beautiful pencil drawing by the renowned Irish artist, James Moore. This image transports us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London, specifically to the area of St. Giles, Cripplegate. St. Giles was one of the oldest and poorest parishes in London, known for its crowded and unsanitary living conditions. The area was notorious for its high crime rates and was home to many impoverished families. In this drawing, we see a bustling scene of everyday life, with people going about their business and children playing in the streets. The drawing captures the unique character of St. Giles, with its narrow, winding streets, old houses, and the distinctive St. Giles-without-Cripplegate Church in the background. The church, with its tall spire and intricate details, stands out against the backdrop of the crowded and chaotic scene. James Moore's skillful use of pencil and paper brings the image to life, with intricate details and shading that add depth and texture to the scene. The drawing is a testament to Moore's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. This drawing is a valuable historical record of life in London during the 19th century and a beautiful work of art in its own right. It invites us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating area of the city and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of urban life in the past.
