EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "A View of London from the River Thames," is an enchanting glimpse into the rich history of England's capital city. Created by the renowned German engraver, Matthäus Merian the Elder and his team, under the supervision of the English draftsman and engraver, Robert Schenck, around 1660, this print offers a breathtaking perspective of London as it appeared over three centuries ago. The image showcases the iconic London skyline as seen from the River Thames. The old St. Paul's Cathedral, without its iconic spire, takes center stage in the background. The cathedral, which had been destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666, was still in the process of being rebuilt. The absence of the spire adds a unique character to the scene, making it a fascinating historical document. The foreground of the print is filled with various boats and barges, laden with cargo, plying the River Thames. The windmill in the upper left corner adds a touch of rural charm to the urban landscape. The Obelisk of the Temple Church, located at the end of Fleet Street, can also be seen in the distance. This print is a testament to the vibrant maritime activity that thrived along the River Thames during this period. The hustle and bustle of London's commercial hub is evident in the numerous boats and the bustling cityscape. The intricate details in the print, from the buildings to the boats, are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the engravers. Today, this print serves as an invaluable historical resource, providing us with a glimpse into the past and offering a unique perspective of London as it was over three centuries ago. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time and allow us to witness the evolution of one of the world's greatest cities.
