EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic destruction of the Cheapside Cross in London, 1809. The image, one of three depicting this historic event, showcases the devastating scene that unfolded during the English Civil War in 1643. Standing on the site where Eleanor Crosses were erected in the late 13th century, this iconic cross became a casualty of war. The photograph transports us back to a time when smoke filled the air and chaos reigned in the city streets. In this monochrome depiction, we witness horses galloping through an avenue as people scramble to salvage what they can amidst the demolition. A ladder leans against a building nearby while flags wave high above, symbolizing both unity and division. The image not only serves as a visual record of historical significance but also highlights how conflicts shape cities and their landscapes over time. It reminds us that even architectural treasures are not immune to destruction during times of war. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this anonymous engraving offers viewers a glimpse into London's past—a reminder of resilience amid turmoil. As we gaze upon this print today, it prompts reflection on our own relationship with history and encourages us to appreciate both its beauty and fragility.
