EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Christ Church in Lambeth, south London, circa 1878. The creator of this architectural marvel remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its already awe-inspiring presence. Originally published in Edward Walford's renowned book "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" this image offers a glimpse into the past. Christ Church holds great significance as it became the final resting place for preacher Rowland Hill (1744-1833), whose coffin was relocated here from Surrey Chapel. The Gothic-style church stands tall amidst a bustling cityscape, with its towering spire reaching towards the heavens. The monochrome composition adds depth and character to the scene, emphasizing both the beauty and grandeur of Victorian-era architecture. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when religion played a central role in society. This image not only captures a physical structure but also symbolizes faith and spirituality that permeated through England during that era. Preserved by Cassell Company Ltd. , Petter & Galpin Co. , this print serves as a testament to their dedication in documenting Britain's rich cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate how our surroundings have evolved over time while reminding us of the enduring power of religious devotion within our communities.
