EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment of the London Wall, as depicted in a 1793 copperplate engraving, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the English capital. The London Wall, a testament to the city's ancient past, was first built in the 3rd century AD as a defensive fortification against invading forces. This particular section of the wall, with its distinctive battlements, was erected during the reign of King Edward IV in 1477. As the city grew and expanded, the wall became obsolete, and by the late 18th century, this fragment of the London Wall stood proudly in the churchyard of St. Giles Cripplegate. The ruins, covered in rubble and moss, were a reminder of the medieval city that once stood before the modern metropolis. The intricate details of the wall's battlements are beautifully captured in this engraving, drawn and etched by John Thomas Smith for his Topography of London, published in 1812. The public's fascination with the city's history and architecture is evident in the meticulous rendering of this historical relic. The engraving invites us to imagine the stories that the wall could tell, of battles fought, of lives lived, and of the ever-changing city that surrounds it. The London Wall, with its enduring presence, continues to be a source of inspiration and a reminder of the city's rich history. This image, a snapshot of a bygone era, invites us to explore the depths of London's past and to appreciate the beauty and history that lies within its walls.
