EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1882, showcasing the magnificent St Giles without Cripplegate. Renowned artist John Crowther skillfully captures the southwest view of this iconic church, enveloped in a vibrant display of colors that bring life to his watercolor masterpiece. Amidst this architectural marvel, our attention is drawn to a humble gardener diligently tending to the paths surrounding the church. With his trusty rake in hand, he meticulously grooms every inch of soil, ensuring that nature's beauty harmoniously coexists with man-made grandeur. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from another era, it becomes evident that religion and spirituality were deeply ingrained within society during the 19th century. St Giles without Cripplegate stands tall as a symbol of Christianity and faith for all who pass by its towering presence. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery have preserved this remarkable piece which not only showcases Crowther's artistic prowess but also provides insight into an occupation often overlooked - gardening. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst urban landscapes, there exists an unwavering connection between humanity and nature. Let us cherish this glimpse into history; where profession meets devotion against a backdrop of architectural splendor and lush greenery – forever captured through John Crowther's lens.
