The stone, located at the foot of Highgate Hill in Archway, holds great significance in English folklore as it marks the spot where Dick Whittington heard the sound of Bow Bells. This iconic landmark is depicted amidst a rustic countryside setting, showcasing its connection to rural life during the 14th and 19th centuries. The image portrays a monochrome scene with intricate details of architecture and nature surrounding the stone monument.
