EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Fenchurch Street in the City of London, circa 1817. The focal point is the magnificent St Katherine Coleman Rectory, standing tall amidst a backdrop of other historic buildings. Its elegant architecture reflects the charm and grandeur of 19th-century Britain. In this snapshot of daily life, we catch glimpses of a bygone era. A horse-drawn cart trundles along the road, transporting goods or perhaps even people through these narrow lanes. Women can be seen collecting water from a nearby pump, showcasing their resourcefulness in an age before modern plumbing. Notably, our eyes are drawn towards the Magpie and Punchbowl public house in the distance - a popular meeting place for locals seeking refreshment after a long day's work. It stands as a testament to community spirit and camaraderie that thrived within these historical neighborhoods. The artist behind this detailed pen-and-ink sketch is Robert Blemmell Schnebbelie (also known as R. B. Schnebbelie), whose talent for capturing architectural beauty shines through his intricate lines and shading techniques. Thanks to institutions like Guildhall Library and Art Gallery preserving such treasures, we can now marvel at this monochrome masterpiece that transports us back to an England filled with cobblestone streets, charming taverns, and hardworking women who were integral parts of their communities.
