EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View of the Metropolitan of London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. Created by an unknown artist in 1866, this print offers a glimpse into the rapidly expanding cityscape of London. The artwork showcases the newly opened London Metropolitan railway line, which began its operation on January 9,1863. The line stretched from Faringdon Street to Bishops Road and featured five stations along its route. This engraving is based on a drawing by Forster and was originally published in "The Illustrated Universe" in September 1866. As we gaze upon this historical piece, we are transported to a time when steam trains chugged through the heart of Britain's capital city. The intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti highlight not only the architectural grandeur but also the energy and vibrancy that defined Victorian-era London. From horse-drawn carriages traversing cobblestone streets to pedestrians going about their daily routines, every element within this image tells a story of urban life during that period. It serves as a testament to both technological advancements and artistic craftsmanship prevalent at that time. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving allows us to appreciate how far our modern transportation systems have come while reminding us of the rich history embedded within every corner of London's ever-evolving metropolis.
