EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the monument of Sir Edward Wynter, who passed away in 1685, located on the south wall of St Mary's Church in Battersea. The monument is a stunning example of Baroque architecture, featuring a bust of Sir Edward atop a pedestal, surrounded by cherubs and intricately designed drapes. The central scene showcases Sir Edward in battle, subduing a fierce tiger, demonstrating his bravery and strength. The monument also includes depictions of him in his role as a Governor of the Savoy Palace Hospital in London, symbolized by the Moors at his feet. The print is a beautiful copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries. Smith's work, titled "Antiquities of London and its Environs," was published in 1794 by J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco in London. The print offers a glimpse into the rich history and architecture of the ancient chancel of St. Mary's Le Chapel, Battersea, and provides a fascinating insight into the life of Sir Edward Wynter, a man of great importance in London's history during the late 17th century.
