EDITORS COMMENTS
The Parish Church, Greenwich, (c1878). This print captures the majestic beauty of St Alfege Church in Greenwich, London. Built between 1712 and 1714 by the renowned architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, this Georgian masterpiece stands as a testament to British architectural brilliance. The photograph is taken from 'Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places', a publication by Edward Walford in the late 19th century. The image showcases the church's stunning exterior against a backdrop of lush greenery and an old stagecoach passing by on the road nearby. St Alfege Church holds great significance in both religious and historical contexts. It has been a place of worship for centuries, serving as a beacon of Christianity within the community. The unknown creator skillfully captured its grandeur through monochrome photography, emphasizing its intricate details while evoking a sense of nostalgia. This remarkable print transports us back to 18th-century England when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobbled streets. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also how transportation played an integral role in connecting people across cities and countries. As we gaze upon this timeless image today, we are reminded of our rich heritage and how these magnificent structures continue to shape our cultural landscape.
