EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Milton's statue outside his own burial-place in the City of London. The sculpture, created by the talented but unknown artist, stands proudly at the church of St Giles Cripplegate. John Milton, a renowned English poet from the 17th century, worshipped at this very church and was laid to rest here. The bronze statue itself is a remarkable piece of artistry, designed by Horace Montford and erected in 1904. Its presence adds an air of reverence to the surroundings as it pays homage to one of England's literary giants. The architectural beauty of St Giles Cripplegate serves as a fitting backdrop for this striking monument. As we gaze upon this monochrome image captured in the 1930s, we are transported back in time to witness history frozen in its tracks. The cityscape behind Milton's statue reminds us that even amidst urban development and progress, there are still pockets where heritage thrives. This photograph comes from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock - a publication that celebrates all aspects of British culture and landmarks. It offers us a glimpse into not only Milton's legacy but also into the rich tapestry of religion, literature, and art that has shaped our country throughout centuries. Let this image serve as a reminder that great minds like John Milton continue to inspire us long after they have departed from this world.
