London artist Magnus Rodwell presents an enthralling pencil drawing, capturing a serene moment in Bermondsey. The artwork features a man leisurely walking his bicycle past Flour and Grape restaurant, while the grand spire of St Mary Magdalene Church graces the distance. This tranquil scene encapsulates the essence of a summer day in the area.
Historically, Bermondsey was a bustling hub of the industrial revolution, teeming with tanneries, thinners, and even a workhouse. The nearby Leather Market on Weston Street facilitated the sale of goods. However, the era was tainted by the noxious odours emanating from the tanneries and thinners, permeating the air.
When framed, this piece becomes an exquisite addition to any home or office, elegantly merging artistry and history. Imagine an array of framed pencil prints adorning your walls, you can create a splendid London-themed gallery.
