EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of London in 1666, before it was devastated by the Great Fire. The image offers a panoramic view of the City of London and the River Thames, as depicted in a plan from that era. On the South Bank stands Southwark Cathedral, an iconic religious landmark, while Old London Bridge gracefully spans across the flowing river. Dominating the right side of the picture is none other than the formidable Tower of London, exuding power and history. The engraving, sourced from Harmsworth's History of the World published in 1909, beautifully captures this pre-fire scene with intricate detail. It showcases various water transport vessels sailing along the Thames, emphasizing its importance as a vital port for trade and transportation during that period. As we immerse ourselves in this seventeenth-century landscape through monochrome imagery, we are reminded not only of London's geographical features but also its rich Christian heritage represented by Southwark Cathedral. This historical snapshot serves as a testament to how much has changed over centuries while honoring our connection to past civilizations.
