EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the year 1731, offering a glimpse into the historical cityscape of Birmingham. The intricate details and meticulous surveying showcased in this print transport us to an era long gone. The plan of Birmingham, surveyed by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, captures the early development of this bustling city. With its narrow streets and modest buildings, it reveals a simpler yet vibrant urban landscape that has since transformed dramatically. This particular print was featured in Robert K Dent's book "Old and New Birmingham" published around 1880. Its inclusion adds further significance to its historical value as a visual representation of how Birmingham evolved over centuries. Through digital cleaning techniques, this image has been restored to its former glory, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail with clarity. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill employed by the engraver and our ongoing fascination with history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how far Birmingham has come since those early days. From its humble beginnings as a small town known for metalworking industries to becoming one of England's major cities today – this engraving encapsulates an important chapter in Birmingham's rich heritage.
