EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique perspective of the Tower and Arch of St James's Church in Clerkenwell, Islington, London, back in 1789. The image showcases the ongoing construction work taking place at the church, with parts of its structure exposed to reveal the intricate architectural features. The circular composition adds an artistic touch to this 18th-century aquatint. In this snapshot from history, we witness builders diligently going about their job amidst debris and rubble. It is fascinating to see how Christianity has shaped this landscape as the church stands tall as a symbol of religious devotion. The color palette used in this print brings life to the scene, allowing us to imagine what it might have been like during that era. The artist behind this masterpiece is Francis Jukes (F. Jukes), whose attention to detail beautifully captures every aspect of this iconic landmark. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print serves as a reminder of London's rich architectural heritage.
