EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic St. Johns Gateway in Clerkenwell, London, dating back to 1504. Built by Thomas Docwra, prior of the Priory of the Knights of Saint John, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to centuries past. Now partially transformed into a museum for the Knights Hospitallers and St. Johns Ambulance Brigade, it serves as a reminder of both religious heritage and humanitarian efforts. The image was originally published in "Half Hours in Old London" by Harry Prince in 1928 as part of "The Bookman - Special Christmas Number". The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from another era. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 1920s London. The Tudor-style gate stands proudly amidst its surroundings on a quaint lane lined with other buildings from various periods. With its intricate details and imposing presence, St. Johns Gate is not only an entrance but also a symbol of Christianity that has witnessed centuries worth of history unfold before it. This print allows us to appreciate the beauty and significance that lies within these ancient walls. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now relish in this piece's historical value without commercial intentions but rather with reverence for our shared cultural heritage.
