EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases London Bridge in 1756, just before the demolition of its iconic houses. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the historical charm of this renowned landmark. With meticulous detail and precision, it transports us back to a time when bustling streets lined the bridge. The image is taken from an old view that captures the essence of London's rich history. It serves as an illustration for Walter Thornbury's book "Old and New London" published around 1890. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate line and texture with clarity. London Bridge itself stands tall and majestic, while rows of houses flank its sides. These structures were soon to be demolished, making way for progress but forever altering the bridge's character. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what life was like during those days - horse-drawn carriages crossing over cobblestone streets, merchants selling their wares on market stalls. This print is not merely a depiction of architecture; it encapsulates a significant moment in history. It reminds us of how cities evolve over time while preserving glimpses of their past glory. A true treasure for any lover of historical art or anyone seeking to connect with London's vibrant heritage.
