EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Fleet Street in 1746 showcases the picturesque scene of Temple Bar straddling the bustling street. However, while it may be a charming sight for onlookers, for coachmen and carriers it serves as a literal barrier to traffic. The historical significance of this landmark is evident, as it would not be moved until 1878.
The image captures a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of England during the 18th century. The architecture and atmosphere depicted in this photograph transport viewers back to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians filled the cobbled streets.
Temple Bar stands as a symbol of tradition and endurance, with its imposing presence serving as both an obstacle and an attraction for those passing through Fleet Street. Its eventual relocation in 1878 marked a significant change in the landscape of London, but its legacy lives on through images like this one.
As we admire this piece from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are reminded of the timeless allure of historical photography and the stories that each image can tell. This particular print encapsulates not only the physical structure of Temple Bar but also the vibrant energy of Fleet Street in 1746.
