EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of London from Islington, 1789" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the bustling cityscape of 18th century England. Created by the talented artist Johannes Swertner, this aquatint showcases an expansive panorama that stretches from Westminster to the City of London. In this detailed etching, we are transported back in time to witness the vibrant life unfolding on Church Street in Islington. The scene is filled with activity as builders diligently work on Islington Chapel while a horse-drawn carriage passes by and cattle graze nearby. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this snapshot of history. Beyond Church Street, our eyes are drawn towards Upper Street and Lower Road, where New River meanders through the landscape. In the distance, St Paul's Cathedral emerges majestically against the skyline. This iconic landmark serves as a reminder of London's rich religious heritage. As we explore further into this image, we can't help but appreciate how it captures not only architectural marvels but also everyday life during that era. It provides us with valuable insights into transportation methods of the time and highlights how religion played an integral role in shaping communities like Islington. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect upon London's past while marveling at its enduring beauty.
