EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the statue of Sir Hugh Myddelton, a prominent historical figure in the history of North London, located on Islington Green in 1862. The statue, sculpted by the skilled hands of John Thomas, stands proudly in the heart of the community, paying tribute to Sir Hugh's significant contributions to the area. Sir Hugh Myddelton (1560-1631) was an English merchant and philanthropist, best known for his role in bringing fresh water from the New River to the parched residents of London. The New River, which was completed in 1613, was a groundbreaking engineering feat that revolutionized the water supply system in London. Myddelton's vision and determination to improve the living conditions of his fellow Londoners made him a beloved figure in the city's history. The statue, which was unveiled in November 1862, was a testament to the enduring appreciation of Sir Hugh's legacy. The image shows the statue in all its glory, with Sir Hugh depicted as a noble figure, dressed in the attire of the time, standing atop a pedestal. The intricate details of the statue, from the folds of his cloak to the delicate features of his face, are beautifully captured in this engraving. Islington Green, where the statue stands, was a popular gathering place for the local community, and the statue became a focal point for residents and visitors alike. The engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when community spirit and philanthropy were at the heart of North London's identity. The statue of Sir Hugh Myddelton remains an important part of the area's history, and this engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of one man's vision and determination.
