EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Fleet Street, The Temple, and more from a map of London published in 1720. The image showcases the historical landmarks and features that defined this bustling city during the 18th and 19th centuries. Intricately detailed, the map reveals the Inns of Court at Temple and Lincolns Inn, which served as prestigious centers for legal education and practice. It also highlights Whitefriars, an area known for its monastic history and proximity to the River Fleet. Bridewell Palace, once a royal residence but later transformed into a penitentiary, is another notable structure depicted on this print. The streets are filled with buildings that reflect both grandeur and simplicity—a testament to London's diverse architectural heritage. As you explore this snapshot of old London, it becomes evident how each street corner holds stories of occupation, profession, crime, law courts, and daily life in Georgian England. Published in Walter Thornbury's renowned work "Old and New London" this image transports us back to a time when Cassell & Company Limited was one of Britain's leading publishers. With George Walter Thornbury as its author, this volume offers readers an immersive journey through London's rich past. As we gaze upon this fascinating piece from our heritage collection at The Print Collector (not affiliated with any company), let us appreciate the intricate details captured by unknown artists who meticulously brought these streets to life over two centuries ago.
