EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic St Brides Church, Fleet Street, in the heart of the City of London. Painted by renowned artist John Le Keux in 1839, this artwork showcases not only the church but also provides a glimpse into daily life on Fleet Street during that time. The image reveals the shop front of Charles Tilt, the publisher responsible for engraving and distributing this very print. It serves as a testament to Tilt's connection with both art and literature. St Brides Church itself was built in 1672 by Sir Christopher Wren as part of his ambitious project to rebuild churches destroyed by the devastating Great Fire of London. With its towering spire and intricate architecture, St Brides is an architectural gem that has stood tall for centuries. The photograph highlights its steeple against a backdrop of bustling streets filled with shops and pedestrians going about their daily routines. This piece is now housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance. Frederick Mackenzie's keen eye captured not just a building but also an era - showcasing 17th-century British architecture amidst a rapidly changing cityscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to a time when religion played an integral role in society while witnessing how commerce thrived alongside faith on one of London's most iconic streets.
