EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remains of the old Saracens Head Inn in Aldgate, London, circa 1883. The image showcases a glimpse into the past, revealing a dilapidated yet captivating scene. The inn's grand entrance stands adorned with intricate carvings and ornate fruit motifs, showcasing its former glory. The photograph is part of a series by Henry Dixon, commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London in 1873. This organization aimed to document buildings at risk of demolition due to urban development. The Saracens Head Inn was established as a coaching inn around 1721 but closed its doors around 1867. The image transports us back to an era when bustling carts roamed the streets and Georgian architecture dominated the cityscape. Despite its rundown state, remnants of Corinthian pilasters can still be seen on the facade, adding an air of elegance to this once vibrant establishment. This photo serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It allows us to appreciate the beauty found within decay while reminding us of our responsibility to preserve our architectural heritage. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another time, we are reminded that even in ruins there is beauty worth capturing and cherishing for generations to come.
