EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London, specifically near Monkwell Street in the City of London. The image showcases a remarkable bastion that once formed part of the iconic London Wall. Standing tall and proud against the cityscape, this ancient structure tells tales of a bygone era. The artist behind this lithograph remains anonymous, yet their skillful use of color brings life to the scene. The vibrant hues highlight both the beauty and decay present in this historic site. It is as if we are transported through time, witnessing firsthand the remnants of an architectural masterpiece. Guildhall Library and Art Gallery proudly houses this print, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we gaze upon it, our eyes are drawn to a lone ladder leaning against one side of the bastion - perhaps left there by workers who were tasked with maintaining or restoring this piece of history. Robert Blemmell Schnebbelie (also known as R. B. Schnebbelie) may have been involved in creating or documenting this artwork; however, further research is needed to confirm his direct involvement. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder that even ruins can hold great beauty and intrigue. It invites us to explore not only physical structures but also the rich tapestry woven into every corner of our country's history - from Britain's past glory to its enduring legacy today.
