EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the West Hackney Church, located on the east side of Stoke Newington Road in London around 1825. Originally one of nine churches funded by the Portuguese government, these structures were initially unnamed. However, from approximately 1881 onwards, this particular church became widely known as St James, West Hackney. The image showcases a remarkable example of neoclassical architecture that was prevalent during the 19th century in Britain. The exterior features elegant columns and a prominent cupola atop the building's roofline. The intricate railings surrounding the church add to its grandeur and provide a glimpse into its historical significance. The photograph is an anonymous work from the 19th century and is part of the collection at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London. Its artistic value lies not only in capturing an architectural feature but also in preserving a piece of religious history within England's capital city. Robert Blemmell Schnebbelie, commonly known as R. B. Schnebbelie, may have been responsible for this engraving or photograph; however, due to limited information available about its creator, it remains anonymous. This stunning print serves as a testament to both Christian faith and British heritage while offering viewers a window into London's past. It stands as an enduring reminder of West Hackney Church's place within religious and architectural history without any commercial associations attached to it.
