Church of St Mary, Putney - A Glimpse into 18th Century London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1783, offering a fascinating glimpse into the architectural beauty of the Church of St Mary in Putney, Wandsworth. Renowned artist Robert Laurie skillfully captures this iconic landmark along with its surroundings in meticulous detail. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent timber bridge that spans across the majestic River Thames. This bridge, which served as a vital transportation link during that era, was later replaced by a sturdier stone structure in 1886. In the foreground, we see a horse-drawn cart gracefully making its way towards this historic crossing. The church itself stands tall and proud against London's skyline, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship typical of British architecture from that period. Its towering spire reaches for the heavens while intricate details adorn every corner. As one gazes upon this monochrome masterpiece, it becomes evident how religion played an integral role within society during those times. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for future generations to admire, this mezzotint print by J Dillon allows us to appreciate not only England's rich history but also its geographical features. The serene river flowing beneath serves as a reminder of how waterways shaped transportation routes throughout Britain's countryside. Step back in time with this remarkable artwork; immerse yourself in 18th-century London and marvel at both human ingenuity and spiritual devotion captured within
